 Portage, IN
Before the State of Indiana created Portage Township in March 1836, the area then called Twenty Mile Prairie (denoting its distance from Michigan City) had been visited by a succession of Native American tribes and, subsequently, travelers using a stagecoach path linking Detroit and Fort Dearborn.
The census of 1970 revealed that Portage's population had jumped from 11,822 to 19,127 in a decade despite drainage problems in the generally clay-based new subdivisions, haphazard zoning regulations, no clearly delineated downtown, and inadequate north-south thoroughfares.
Three of Portage's first four mayors were Democrats, including Arthur Olson, John Williams, and Sammie Maletta, who defeated three-term Republican mayor Robert Goin in 1987 and controlled city hall throughout the 1990s.
