Poortugaal is a village (dorp) that is situated near the municipality of Rotterdam in the South Holland province of the Netherlands.
The village was first established in 15th century, following a royal land grant by the Spanish Netherlands to the their local feudal vassals and supporters among the Dutch nobility.
A Catholic church, a symbol of permanent settlements in the past, that dates to that period is found in the village centre.
The origin of the name, Poortugaal, and its presumed connection to the Kingdom of Portugal or the Portuguese is unclear.
One theory links the similarity of Portugal's and Poortugaal's flags and coat of arms as an indication of local settlers' paying homage to fellow crusaders who were from Portugal.
