Erie: Great Lakes Port and Presque Isle
Erie is Pennsylvania's only port on the Great Lakes, positioned on a natural harbor sheltered by the curving peninsula of Presque Isle. The city was laid out in 1795 and named for the Erie people, an Iroquoian group displaced from the region a century earlier. During the War of 1812, Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry built his fleet at the Erie shipyard and sailed from here to defeat the British at the Battle of Lake Erie on September 10, 1813. The Brig Niagara, a reconstruction of Perry's relief flagship, serves as the flagship of Pennsylvania and docks in the harbor.
Presque Isle State Park occupies the 3,200-acre peninsula that curves into Lake Erie, with seven miles of beaches and a migratory bird corridor that draws birders from across the region. The park receives more than four million visitors a year, making it the most-visited state park in Pennsylvania. Erie Insurance, founded in 1925, is headquartered downtown and is the city's largest private employer.
Lake-effect snow defines winters here. The city averages over 100 inches of snowfall annually, with some years exceeding 150. A single 2017 storm dumped 53 inches on Erie in a 30-hour period, briefly setting a Pennsylvania snowfall record.
