The 1866 great fire of Portland spread throughout the city of Portland, Maine, on July 4, 1866—the second Independence Day after the end of the American Civil War. The fire burned out the morning of July 5; while over a thousand buildings were destroyed, there were few fatalities. Occurring five years before the Great Chicago Fire, it was the greatest fire yet seen in an American city.
