Portola was founded and still serves as a railroad town along the Union Pacific Railroad's beautiful Feather River Route.
The name Portola was suggested at a festival in San Francisco honoring the Spanish Explorer Guadeloupe Portola and was approved by the U.S. Post Office in 1909. At that time the town had a population of around 200 and grew with the booming lumber business and as a railroad head.
The City of Portola is the only incorporated City in Plumas County, incorporated May 16, 1946 and is now a modern community with all the amenities you desire to work, live and play.
Whatever your purpose is for visiting our wonderful City, we sincerely hope, and strive, to make your trip one that will last forever in your memories.
