Rather than Congress Street, the answer now is more likely to be the "Old Port Exchange". This is the area of Exchange Street, below Middle Street, and Fore Street at the foot of Exchange. The area dates back to the earliest days of Portland and early chroniclers of Portland's history described it as the most heavily populated part of town. Author William Willis, in his HISTORY OF PORTLAND 1632-1864, refers to the "very valuable tract lying between Exchange and Lime streets and extending from Middle Street to low water mark".

VOL. 13, No. 2 1979 CASCO BAY - MAINE August · COMPLIMENTARY ISSUE - 2,000 COPIES STILL UP IN THE AIR! In yet another abortive attempt to settle the location of a new Casco Bay Terminal, the Portland Planning Board failed to act on a choice of Hobson's Wharf (at the foot of High St.); or the combined Custom House - Portland Pier site. Unanimous rejection of Hobson's Wharf was voiced by island residents, supplemented by peti­ tions signed by many who could not attend the August 7 public hearing. Custom House was favored more as the lesser of two evils, than an ideal solution in itself. Underlying the testimony was a repeated sug­ gestion that the City look again at the Easterly side of Long Wharf which might be negotiated with owner Tony DeMillo - who, it is understood, ,-1 ,-1 - might be willing to move his Marina to the westerly m side in a more protected area.

  • History of Portland's India Street Neighborhood
    History of Portland's India Street Neighborhood Researched and Written by Julie Larry and Gabrielle Daniello, TTL Architects for the City of Portland's Historic Preservation Office Early European settlement to the 19th century: Before the street we now know as Linda Street existed, before it was called King Street, before it was Broad Street, it was likely a dirt foot path that the Native Americans used to cross from one end of the woodsy peninsula to the other. Although the first house built in Portland by Europeans (in 1632) was located on what is now the comer of Hancock and Pore Streets, whites did not settle in any concentrated numbers in the area until 1680 when Fort Loyal was constructed at the foot of current day India Street. Prior to this time, the settlers, about forty families, had been widely scattered around the Portland area known as Falmouth. Massive destruction of property and the killing or capture of thirty-four Europeans during King Philip’s War put an end to this decentralized pattern of settlement. The protection afforded by the fort, however, was short-lived, as the community was again obliterated by a Wabanaki attack in 1690. English settlers eventually returned to the peninsula. By 1727, about forty families lived near lower King Street (present day India Street), "some of which were respectable," according to the minister at the time, Parson Smith. This concern for respectability will be echoed in later years by city planners, journalists, and reformers fretting about the quality of the residents and housing in the India Street neighborhood.
