ABOUT PORT CLINTON OH

Port Clinton is located along Lake Erie in Ottawa County, Ohio. Due to the waterfront location, the city is a great travel destination that is equipped with beautiful wildlife and a handful of different outdoor sports and excursions. Port Clinton is also located centrally between Toledo and Cleveland, making the outdoorsy city a great spot for local vacationers.

The city of Port Clinton was founded in 1828 and named after a previous New York governor, Dewitt Clinton. For the following twenty years, the town grew very slowly, with only sixty homes in the mid-1840s. The harbor, which was located along Lake Erie, seemed to be a great place for shipments, however, it hardly received any traffic. Throughout the remaining portion of the nineteenth century, Port Clinton continued growing, ending the century with over 2,000 residents. In the late 1880s, Port Clinton was equipt with three different newspaper offices, four churches, and one bank within the city limits. Additionally, a handful of manufacturing companies entered the area, employing many of the townsmen. Most of the local business provided services and various products to the farmers who were located just outside Port Clinton in the Ohio countryside. Throughout the twentieth century, Port Clinton continued to grow, much faster than before. By the year 2000, Port Clinton was home to over 6,000 people, many of which work in the tourism industry, or own local businesses throughout the city. Port Clinton is located between Toledo and Cleveland, thus the area is a wonderful tourist destination, especially during the summer months.
