Replacement Doors in Port Dover

If you have never been to Port Dover, there are three things you should know about the town that sits on the north shore of Lake Erie. First, it has the best foot long hot dogs in the world, a platter of fresh perch, deep fried with celery bread is to die for and Friday the 13th puts more people in the town for one day than they do all year.

The commemoration of the date is significant as it has been a celebration that dates back over 50 years and Friday the 13th in Port Dover was started by a group of motorcycle enthusiasts who were remembering the loss of a friend.

Over the course of time, the event has mushroomed into a full-fledged party of sorts, lots of chrome parked on the main drag of Port Dover and the cash infusion into the community is in the millions of dollars.

It wasn’t always like this Port Dover, it was a tourist town that lost its lustre and the amusement park that entertained thousands fell into disrepair. Cottage rentals and tourist visits started to dwindle as air travel and exotic vacation destinations replaced the trip to the cottage for two weeks in the summer.

But, the Friday the 13th festival revitalised the community and it has become a great place for a family vacation with many activities to entertain the entire family. Port Dover was founded in the early 1600’s when settlers first came upon the area. But historical records say that the Natives lived in the area for many years before the settlers arrived and evidence of the Native community tells us that they were there 5000 years before any contact.

As Port Dover prospered and developed, war visited their shores when the US launched the War of 1812. Many raiding parties attacked communities along the shores of Lake Erie, but they had no luck conquering the settlers and their Native counterparts. After they had been repulsed many times, the Americans virtually gave up trying to colonise the settlements along the lake and because of mounting losses.

Farming and factories are the economic stability of Port Dover and the resurgence of tourism has helped provide a positive image for the community.

As a tourist town, Port Dover always wants to put its best community foot forward and it is the residents of the town who keep their homes and cottages in a good state of operation. For replacement doors in Port Dover, the town will call out to our company, AM Window & Door Solutions to get the work done right.
