How are we to know where a person is from, if they only say 'Portland'?

I know of a Portland about 40 miles from my home, and that Portland is in New Hampshire. Is that were all you weird Portland people are from?
I always thought that Portland was just there to keep MA and ME from fighting border wars over lobster pots.

(And yes, I knew of the Portland weirdness; it was imported from Austin. The Austin one was created quite some time after my last visit there, but it didn't escape my notice, and it's apt.)
