Living in Port Colborne
History
Port Colborne survived a long and storied history, a testament to the fortitude of her people. The city’s roots can be traced back to the United Empire Loyalist settlements after the American Revolution. Originally known as Gravelly Bay, Port Colborne was renamed after Sir John Colborne in 1832. He was a British war hero and Lt. Gov. when the First Welland Canal opened its southern entrance in 1833. The canal was an important transportation route with its connection to ships sailing Lake Erie and the Great Lakes. Port Colburn merged with the adjacent Village of Humberstone in 1952.
Recreation
Lake Erie beaches, marinas and trails leading to Niagara Falls bring people to “Niagara’s South Coast.” The community has a plethora of interesting activities – from golfing and trails to fishing and beaches, shopping districts, recreation and much more. The Friendship Trail and Welland Canal Parkways Trail are good beginnings. Folks visit the beautiful parks and hang out at Sugarloaf Harbour Marina for fishing and boating activities.
Culture and Attractions
Visit the shops, galleries and eateries as tourism is important to Port Colborne. Many events, festivals, art shows and cultural activities enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors to Port Colborne. The annual Canal Days Festival on West Street plays up the importance of the Welland Canal with live music and fireworks, tall ships and more. This festival also highlights Lock 8, one of the world’s longest canal locks, which keeps water levels consistent between Lake Erie and Welland Canal.
Live theatre and opera infuse Port Colborne with extra vibrancy. Historical options include Kinnear House associated with the first woman in Canada to serve as a federal judge. Port Colborne Historical and Marine Museum bursts with stories of the local history.
Business and Economy
The economy of Port Colborne centers around maritime commerce, ship repair and provisions. A century ago it was mainly an industrial city. New industry includes agricultural business operations at Casco Inc. and Jungbunzlauer. Vale Nickel company uses hydroelectricity as do many companies near Niagara Falls. Marine Recycling Corporation refurbishes ships. A food company, steel fabricators, milling, machine companies, paving companies and other businesses keep the economy alive.
Schools
Families are served by Port Colborne and Lakeshore Catholic High School districts.
