Ogdensburg, Port city in St. Lawrence County, New York, United States
Ogdensburg is a port city located where the Oswegatchie and St. Lawrence Rivers meet at New York's northern border, creating a natural harbor. The city sits along the waterfront and is shaped by its role as a shipping point.
French colonists established Fort de La Présentation in 1749, which grew into a trading center and eventually became the foundation for this city. Ogdensburg was formally incorporated in 1868 and developed as a major port along the border.
The Frederic Remington Art Museum occupies a historic mansion and displays the artist's works depicting frontier life and the people of this border region. Visitors encounter paintings and sculptures that show how daily life unfolded here in earlier times.
The city is best explored on foot, with pathways along the river and through downtown. Most attractions are within walking distance of each other, making it easy to see the main sights.
This is the only United States port on the St. Lawrence Seaway, directly connecting the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. This position makes it a junction point for international shipping traffic.
