Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
PORTADOWN , a market town of county
Armagh
 , Ireland, on the river Bann and the
Great
  Northern railway, 25 In. W.S.W. of Belfast. Pop. (1901), 10,092. It is a junction of
lines from Dublin, Clones and Omagh. The Bann, which is connected with the Newry Canal and falls into Lough Neagh 5 M. north of the town, is navigable for vessels of go tons burden. It is crossed at Portadown by a stone
bridge
  of seven arches, originally built in 1764, but since then re-erected. The manufacture of linen and
cotton
  is carried on, and there is a considerable
trade
  in pork,
grain
  and farm produce. In the reign of Charles I. the manor was bestowed on John Obyns, who erected a
mansion
  and a few houses, which were the beginning of the town. A
grain
 -market was established in 1780. The town is governed by an urban
district
  council.
