Port Huron, Maritime gateway at St. Clair County, United States.

Port Huron stands at the southern end of Lake Huron, connected to Sarnia, Ontario by the Blue Water Bridge at Interstate 94's eastern point.

The settlement began in 1814 with Fort Gratiot's establishment, leading to incorporation in 1857 as the city expanded through shipbuilding and lumber industries.

The Port Huron Museum system includes multiple locations dedicated to preserving maritime history, regional heritage, and Great Lakes shipping activities.

The city government maintains public services through a council-manager system, with departments handling water quality, waste management, and community programs.

Fort Gratiot Lighthouse, constructed in 1829, holds the distinction of being Michigan's first lighthouse and continues operating for Lake Huron navigation.
