Portage was settled in 1830 and incorporated as a city in 1963. Austin Lake, in the southeast part of the city, is named for Moses Austin, who came to Portage Township from Genesee County, New York, in 1833. A settlement known as Austin or Austin Lake grew on the lake's north shore, and a post office called Austin's Lake operated from May 18, 1850, with Austin as postmaster, until August 15, 1853. The place was also a station on the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad in 1867. On May 7, 2024, a high-end EF2 tornado struck the city, damaging more than 500 buildings and destroying 60. The city had 48,891 residents at the 2020 census.
