Portland is a town in Middlesex County across the Bridge from Middletown Connecticut. According to the 2010 census 9,508 is the population number.  Portland  is situated across the Connecticut River from Middletown. Portland was at onetime known for their Brownstone quarries. The vast majority of the brownstone buildings in Connecticut  were built from the Portland CT stone.

Portland was part of Middletown and was called East Middletown. 

Portland was named a town in 1841. Its name comes from Portland England which is famous for its stone quarries. 

Before quarrying became the town's chief industry, Portland was known for its shipbuilding. The Gildersleeve village in Portland was named after the shipbuilding family the Gildersleeves.  I am sure they were more concerned with trapping Rats on their ships than mole control. Today Moles in the garden is more of a concern than other Rodents besides squirrels and groundhogs. For Portland mole control, Squirrel, Woodchuck and other pest control services call 860-510-6313 Price quotes are always free of charge.

What moles live in Portland CT?

 

Eastern moles (Scalopus aquaticus) and star-nosed moles (Condylura cristata) are two species of moles that are found in many parts of North America, including Connecticut. It is possible that these species of moles can be found in Portland, CT, as well.

Eastern moles are small, furry mammals that are typically found in wooded areas, fields, and lawns. They are known for their distinctive pointed snouts and powerful digging claws, which they use to create extensive tunnel systems underground.

Star-nosed moles are a bit larger than eastern moles and have a unique star-shaped nose with 22 fleshy appendages that help them navigate and locate prey in the dark tunnels they dig. They are typically found in wetland areas and have been known to inhabit gardens and lawns as well.

What's the difference between Portland CT moles and shrews?

 

Moles and shrews are both small, burrowing mammals, but they belong to different taxonomic groups and have some distinct differences.

  1. Taxonomy: Moles belong to the family Talpidae, while shrews belong to the family Soricidae.
  2. Appearance: Moles have cylindrical bodies with short, powerful legs and large, spade-like paws for digging. They have small eyes and ears, and their fur is typically dark brown or black. Shrews, on the other hand, have a long, pointed snout and small, beady eyes. They have short legs and dense, velvety fur that can be gray, brown, or reddish.
  3. Diet: Moles are insectivores, and their diet consists mainly of earthworms, insects, and other invertebrates. Shrews are also insectivores, but they tend to eat a wider range of prey, including small mammals, amphibians, and reptiles.
  4. Behavior: Moles are solitary animals and spend most of their time underground, only coming to the surface occasionally. They are active year-round and create complex tunnel systems. Shrews are also active year-round, but they are more active at night and may be active above ground as well as underground.
  5. Size: Moles are generally larger than shrews, with an average length of 4-7 inches, while shrews typically measure 2-4 inches in length.

Overall, while both moles and shrews are small, burrowing mammals, they have some notable differences in appearance, diet, and behavior.

Portland CT History

 

Portland, Connecticut is a town located in Middlesex County, Connecticut, United States. Here is a brief overview of its history:

The area that is now Portland was originally inhabited by the Mattabesec tribe of the Wangunk people. The first European settlers arrived in the area in the mid-17th century, and the town was officially incorporated in 1841.

Portland played a significant role in the American Revolution. The town was a key transportation hub, with the Connecticut River providing a vital waterway for the movement of troops and supplies. Portland was also home to several gunpowder mills that supplied the Continental Army with ammunition.

In the 19th century, Portland became a center of industry, with factories producing textiles, paper, and machinery. The town was also a popular destination for tourists, thanks to its natural beauty and the presence of several mineral springs.

During the 20th century, Portland experienced significant growth, with new residential neighborhoods and commercial developments springing up. Today, Portland is a thriving community with a diverse economy and a rich history. Some of the town's most notable landmarks include the Brownstone Quarries, the Portland Historical Society Museum, and the historic St. Clements Castle.
