Port Huron, MI

Port Huron is the county seat of St. Clair County, sitting where Lake Huron narrows into the St. Clair River across from Sarnia, Ontario. The area was long home to Ojibwa people, and the modern city grew around shipping, border traffic, rail, and Great Lakes industry. The Blue Water Bridge is one of its defining landmarks, while the waterfront, marinas, and freighter-watching give the city a strong river-and-lake identity. Port Huron feels like a working Great Lakes border city, not just a Michigan beach town.
