History
Originally known as "Frenchtown", this community was settled by Europeans in the 1830s, when it first formed around the nucleus of a sawmill operated by John Edwards Jr. This business—jointly owned by this man's father, John Edwards Sr., and the senior Edwards' partner, Henry Clinton—eventually evolved into a papermaking concern.
For the better part of 150 years, Port Edwards was a "dry" community, where sale of alcoholic beverages was prohibited by local ordinance. That was changed in the late 1990s, when a restaurant opened in the village and sought a license to sell liquor.
Today, the village consists of a small cluster of 1890s to 1940s homes. The Alexander House Center for Art & History is also located here.
