At the 2000 census, Portage Lakes included portions of Coventry and Franklin townships. On 1 January 2005, all of Franklin Township was merged into the village of New Franklin; as a result, the CDP's Franklin Township portion is now entirely within New Franklin. Therefore, the CDP today consists of territory only in Coventry Township, as CDPs are only located in unincorporated areas.
