Huron was at the center of the Connecticut Western Reserve, known as the “Firelands”; lands offered to residents of Connecticut who had lost their land to British raiders during the American Revolutionary War.
The first settler in the area was a Quebec-born trapper, trader and interpreter named John Baptiste Flemmond, who established a trading post along the east bank of the Huron River in 1792.
The village of Huron was incorporated in 1809. The town became a major ship building center in the 1830s due to Port facilities that were developed on the west bank of the Huron River in the 1820s. In 1880 the east bank of the Huron River was expaned greatly due to The Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway. The first cargo of iron ore at the W&LE docks was received May 21, 1884. The port is still in use today, accepting cargoes of iron ore and limestone from lake freighters. Huron was also the home port of several commercial fishing fleets before lake pollution decimated the industry on Lake Erie in the early 1970s.
