Gorham's Corner is road intersection in Portland, Maine, United States. It is formed by the meeting of Center Street (from the northwest and southeast), Fore Street (from the northeast), York Street (from the south) and Pleasant Street (from the west). The intersection creates five corners for pedestrians to navigate. In the 19th century, the corner was the focal point of an Irish community, formed after the large emigration to the United States caused by the Irish Potato Famine.
