During the 1930s, the Port consolidated school district covered the largest area in Oklahoma, some ninety square miles. Prior to settlement, the Western Cattle Trail passed just east of the site.

Port's population was 68 in 1940.[3]

The community lends its name to the Oklahoma state soil, Port Silt Loam.
