Port Washington, Lake Michigan harbor city in Wisconsin, United States.
Port Washington extends along Lake Michigan's western shore with a harbor at Sauk Creek's mouth, featuring waterfront parks and Victorian buildings.
European settlers established the community in 1835, initially naming it Wisconsin City before changing it to honor President George Washington.
The city celebrates Fish Day each summer, recognized as the largest single-day outdoor fish fry event in the world.
The Port Washington-Saukville School District operates three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school serving the local population.
The Port Washington Light, constructed in 1860, stands as a maritime museum containing original lighthouse keeper equipment and navigation instruments.
