You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.161.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:07, 1 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Portland''' is a [[police village]] and unincorporated place located in the [[township (Canada)#Ontario|municipal township]] of [[Rideau Lakes, Ontario|Rideau Lakes]], [[United Counties of Leeds and Grenville]] in [[eastern Ontario]], [[Canada]].<ref name="CGNDB" /><ref name="OntarioRoadMap">((cite map|url= http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/traveller/map/images/pdf/southont/sheets/Map6.pdf |format= PDF|title= Map 6|series= Official road map of Ontario|publisher= [[Ministry of Transportation of Ontario]]|scale= 1 : 700,000|date= 2016-01-01|access-date= 2017-03-14))</ref><ref name="OntarioRestructuringMap">((cite map|url= http://www.mah.gov.on.ca/AssetFactory.aspx?did=6576 |title= Restructured municipalities - Ontario map #5|year= 2006|series= Restructuring Maps of Ontario|publisher= [[Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (Ontario)|Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing]]|access-date= 2017-03-14))</ref> The community is on [[Ontario Highway 15]] about ((convert|60|km)) northeast of [[Ontario Highway 401]] at [[Kingston, Ontario|Kingston]] by road,<ref name="OntarioRoadMap" /> and is situated in geographic Bastard Township<ref name="BastardTownship">((cite web|url= http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/countyatlas/images/maps/townshipmaps/lee-m-bastard.jpg |format= JPG |title= Township of Bastard|work= Canadian County Atlas Project|publisher= [[McGill University]]|year= 2001|accessdate= 2017-03-15))</ref> on the southeast side of [[Big Rideau Lake]].<ref name="OntarioRoadMap" />

Portland was first settled in the early 19th century as one of the first settlements along the [[Rideau Waterway]]. The original seven houses in Portland, informally known as "The Landing", were a transfer point for passengers travelling from [[Brockville, Ontario|Brockville]] and continuing by [[barge]] to [[Perth, Ontario|Perth]].

With the completion of the [[Rideau Canal]] Waterway in 1832, [[steamboat]]s and barges carrying raw materials such as [[Timber|cordwood]], [[maple syrup]], [[potash]], [[cheese]], tanned [[Hide (skin)|hides]] and salt [[beef]] were a common sight. Portland became a thriving village of trade with Kingston, [[Montreal]] and [[Ottawa]].

The village of Portland took its name in 1843 from [[William Cavendish-Bentinck, 3rd Duke of Portland]]. By the 1860s, the settlement had expanded considerably to require five [[hotels]] and, by the early 20th century, [[cottages]] were springing up around the lake and the [[tourist]] [[trade]] had begun. Advances in [[Rail transport|rail]] and [[road]] travel and increasing tourism offset a decline in the role of agriculture in the economy of Portland. Tourism then began to lead the economy of Portland, and still does to this day.<ref>((cite web|url= http://www.portlandoutdoors.com/aboutportland/index.htm |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120224064635/http://www.portlandoutdoors.com/aboutportland/index.htm |title= About Us|publisher= Portland Outdoors|archive-date= 2012-02-24|access-date= 2017-03-15))</ref>

An international [[speed skating]] tournament called Skate the Lake is held each winter by Portland Outdoors on the Big Rideau Lake.<ref>((cite web|url= http://www.skatethelakeportland.com/ |title= Skate the Lake|access-date= 2017-03-15))</ref>

==Notes==
A township named Portland is located in [[South Frontenac]] approximately 60 kilometers west of Portland (the village itself). Its unknown if the township and the village had any connections with the same name due to its close proximity. In 1998, Portland Township was amalgamated into South Frontenac.<ref>[https://research.digitalkingston.ca/places-and-institutions/historic-townships-1849-to-1998/portland-township Portland Township | Digital Kingston]</ref><ref>[http://www.frontenacmaps.ca/images/refmap-twps.png County of Frontenac - Former Townships]</ref>

English actor, [[David Niven]], visited Portland<ref>((Cite web |title=THE RIDEAU: A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME |url=http://www.rideau-info.com/canal/articles/article1/rideau5.html |access-date=2022-02-28 |website=www.rideau-info.com))</ref> several times and mentions it as one of his favorite places in his book "[[The Moon's a Balloon]]".
