The City of Portland was a local government area about {{convert|360|km|mi|0}} west-southwest of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The city covered an area of {{convert|34.14|km2|sqmi|1}}, and existed from 1855 until 1994.

History

Portland was incorporated as a municipal district on 17 December 1855. It became a borough in 1863[2], and a town on 19 November 1949. It was proclaimed a city on 28 October 1985.[3]

On 23 September 1994, the City of Portland was abolished, and, along with parts of the Shires of Glenelg and Heywood, was merged into the new Shire of Glenelg.[4]

The City of Portland was not subdivided into wards, and the nine councillors represented the entire area.
