My family moved to Portage Park in 1949. I was told that the park got its name because the Indians "portaged" their canoes through this area. I read in a book about St. Pascal's church that homes were built in the area because people who worked at "Dunning" (the farmer's name who donated the land) needed housing. Portage Park homes were built in the 19 teens and 1920's.The Watson family who lived on Waveland had the first telephone in the area. I hope this information helps.

During the Lewis and Clark expedition, the group encountered a challenging section of the Missouri River known as the Great Falls in 1805. Here, they faced a series of five waterfalls that necessitated a difficult portage of about 18 miles. The crew had to transport their boats and supplies overland, which took several weeks and tested their endurance. This experience highlighted the ruggedness of the terrain and the logistical challenges of their journey. Five facts about the Great Falls portage: The Great Falls consist of five distinct waterfalls, totaling a drop of 86 feet. The portage required the crew to carry all their gear, including canoes, supplies, and equipment. The expedition spent approximately 31 days navigating the portage. The challenges faced at Great Falls prompted innovations in their transport methods, including the construction of a cart for easier movement. The Great Falls area was significant for its natural beauty and marked a key point in the westward exploration of the United States.

Portage is derived from French and means carrying; the word is usually used in reference to carrying your canoe, when you are travelling from one navigable waterway to another, a process which is called a portage.
