Portland is the largest city and the economic center of the state of Oregon in the northwestern United States. The city of 650,000 lies in the shadow of Mount Hood, the fourth highest mountain in the Cascade Range at 3,425 meters. Founded as a settlement in the 1840s, Portland quickly grew to become an important transshipment point for goods traded by sea thanks to its port. The Willamette and Columbia Rivers flow through Portland.
A river island on the Columbia River, about ten kilometers north of downtown Portland, is also home to the Formula E track. The electric series uses the Portland International Raceway since 2023, which opened in 1961 and has been used repeatedly by the IndyCar Series in recent decades.
In 2024, there will be two races in Portland as part of a double header.
