	Portadown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Portadown (Irish: Port an Dúnáin, "port of the fortress") is a town in County Armagh, Northern Ireland.
		Portadown is situated on the River Bann, in the north of County Armagh.
		Portadown is known as "The Hub of the North", the origin of this phrase coming from its central position in Northern Ireland and being a major railway junction in the past, where the Great Northern Railway's line diverged for Belfast, Dublin, Armagh and Derry.

	A History of Portadown Loyalists
		In 1641 Portadown and its districts were the scene of mass genocide when a sizeable proportion of its population were killed both in the town and the surrounding regions.
		In the 1960's and 70's for example Portadown appears relatively peaceful when viewed beside trouble spots such as Belfast or Londonderry; this however, was not the case in the post 1985 period.
		It would be inaccurate to say however that Portadown was divorced from the wider conflict; paramilitaries from the area and from both sides of the divide were responsible for some of the more prominent actions, both in the Irish republic and elsewhere in Ulster.

	Political Rituals: Loyalist Parades in Portadown
		During 1985 and 1986, the town of Portadown, in County Armagh was shaken by a series of violent civil disturbances which were significant even in terms of the recent troubled history of Northern Ireland, and perhaps unique given the town's relatively small population of 30,000.
		As such, the conflict in Portadown cannot be divorced from the wider political issues, in particular the relationship between the British and Irish governments at the time and the consequent increased suspicion and alienation that this had produced amongst Protestants.
		However, partial as the foregoing description of the recent history of parades in Portadown may be, it reveals a complex network of political groups, sometimes in the form of political parties, seeking to utilise the parading 'tradition' in a rapidly changing political context.
