From Wikipedia: Portage, New York
The town was first settled around 1810. Portage was formed from part of the town of Nunda in 1827.The "High Bridge at Portage, " built in 1853, was once... considered an engineering wonder for wood construction. It was destroyed by a fire in 1875. That same year the bridge was rebuilt in iron according to a design by the railroad engineer Octave Chanute, who later became a pioneer of aviation. The iron bridge still stands today, but not for long. In 2015 construction began to build a new high bridge to replace the current bridge due to the structure and age of the current bridge.
