Port Colborne

Port Colborne is a city in the Niagara Region of Ontario, Canada. It is located on the north shore of Lake Erie at the mouth of the Welland Canal. The city has a population of 19,204, according to the 2016 census.

Port Colborne is known for its beautiful waterfront and the Welland Canal, which runs through the city. The canal is a major shipping route, connecting Lake Ontario to Lake Erie. The city also has a vibrant downtown area, with a range of shops, restaurants, and attractions.

Port Colborne is located in a region of Ontario that has been inhabited for thousands of years. The region was first settled by the Neutral Nation, an Iroquoian-speaking people, who lived in the area for centuries before being displaced by the Iroquois Confederacy. The first Europeans to settle in the area were French fur traders, who arrived in the 18th century.

In 1829, the Welland Canal was built, connecting Lake Ontario to Lake Erie. This brought economic growth to the area, as the canal allowed ships to bypass the Niagara Falls and travel between the two lakes. The city of Port Colborne was incorporated in 1870 and named after Sir John Colborne, who served as Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada from 1828 to 1836.

Port Colborne has a rich history and has been home to many important historical events. During the War of 1812, the city played an important role, as it was the site of the Battle of Cook’s Mills in 1814. In 1867, the city was the site of the first meeting of the Canadian Senate.

Today, Port Colborne is a thriving city that is known for its beautiful waterfront and vibrant downtown. It is a popular destination for tourists, who come to enjoy the city's many attractions, including the Welland Canal, the Niagara Escarpment, and the Port Colborne Historical and Marine Museum.
