Driving Around Small Town Portage, Wisconsin in 4k Video

Описание: Filmed on Monday, August 14 2023, I drive around the city Portage, WI to see what's going on.

Portage was named for the Fox-Wisconsin Waterway, a portage between the Fox River and the Wisconsin River, which was recognized by Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet during their discovery of a route to the Mississippi River in 1673.

By the end of the 17th century, the Fox-Wisconsin waterway, linked at The Portage, served as the major fur trade thoroughfare between Green Bay and Prairie du Chien.

In 1828, the federal government recognized the strategic economic importance of The Portage and built Fort Winnebago at the Fox River end.

The Portage business district lies along a hill that overlooks the Portage Canal. The buildings now in the city's downtown were once part of a bustling, urban commercial center serving a large region across north central Wisconsin.

As of the census of 2020, there were 10,581 people residing in the city, up from 10,324 in 2010.

The racial makeup of the city was 90.9% White, 5.0% African American, 0.9% Native American, 0.8% Asian, 0.7% from other races, and 1.6% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 4.0% of the population.

The median household income was $56,303 and the per capita income was $27,640. 12.3% of the population was living below the poverty line.
