“I was born and raised in Erie, Pennsylvania. I love Erie. My wife, Rhonda, and I raised our three children here. You cannot beat Erie’s beautiful beaches and spectacular sunsets.” MAYOR JOSEPH SCHEMBER | CITY OF ERIE
CONTENT
Welcome to Erie, Pennsylvania’s fourth largest city and the only Pennsylvania Port on the Great Lakes. Located along the shores of one of the world’s best-protected harbors, Erie has an extensive maritime history as a Great Lakes City. Central to the Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo triangle, Erie is within 500 miles of more than half of the U.S. population and is accessible by automobile, boat, plane, train, or bus. A truly diverse city, Erie boasts a wealth of natural beauty, fascinating history, active cultural and arts scenes, diverse ethnic heritage and first-rate sports teams. Erie offers the cultural and entertainment options you’d expect from a big city, plus the friendliness and leisurely pace of a smaller town. While you’re here, make sure to stop by the NEW Erie Visitor Center inside the Tom Rige Environmental Center!
