Quick Facts

History & Context

Bayfront District Visitors to the Erie's Bayfront District will find an engaging mix public facilities, restaurants, shops, maritime activities and an abundance of public space, all thanks to recent public and private initiatives to rejuvenate, develop and beautify the bayfront as a first-class tourist district and people place. The district is centered on Presque Isle Bay, a scenic harbor protected by Presque Isle State Park on the north and bounded by the City of Erie on the south. The bay has been the historic focal point of life in the Erie region for over 250 years, and today's Bayfront District is steeped in this history. Its historical record begins with the English and French in their early 17th century battle for control of the lower Great Lakes; a bit later, it was used as a shipbuilding center by Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry during the War of 1812. Presque Isle Bay provides Pennsylvania with its only port on the Great Lakes and continues to be a focal point of life in Erie today.
