About Erie, PA

Erie is a city located on the southern shore of Lake Erie, serving as the county seat for Erie County. Erie was named for both the lake and for the Erie Nation of Native Americans, who resided in northwest Pennsylvania up until the mid-1600s. European settlers first came to the area in the mid-18th century, and following the Revolutionary War, the area including present-day Erie was made part of Pennsylvania. Erie served as the home port during the War of 1812 for the flagship of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, who led several battles on the Great Lakes during the war, leading to Erie earning the nickname of the “Flagship City”. Initially a shipbuilding, fishing, and railroad hub, Erie further developed a sizable manufacturing industry during the 20th century. Although Erie’s manufacturing industry has since declined, the city has seen the rise of other industries, including healthcare, technology, and tourism.
