Port Washington
main street in Port Washington, Wisconsin
Today, Port Washington is the county seat of Ozaukee County and in 1990 had a population of 9338. In 1835, though, when Wooster Harrison, the first settler of the land that was to become the city of Port Washington arrived, all this land was included within the boundaries of the larger and as yet undivided Washington County and was then without formal governmental organization.
