Welcome to Portadown

Portadown (Port an Dúnáin) is a town in County Armagh. It has an estimated population of 30,000, and is situated on the River Bann, in the north of County Armagh. It is within of the Craigavon Borough Council area.

Although the town can trace its origins to at least the 1600s, it was not until the Victorian era and the arrival of the railway that it became a major town. 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.
