Because of the Town's hilly terrain there are pumping stations located on the west side of the municipality to help maintain adequate pressure in the system which consists of a reservoir, a booster pumping station, and a standpipe. Area Information: In 1793 United Empire Loyalists became the first permanent settlers in Port Hope, which was then known as Smith's Creek after a former fur trader. After being renamed, briefly, Toronto, it was renamed again in 1817 after Colonel Henry Hope, lieutenant governor of Quebec, and in 1834 Port Hope was incorporated as a town.
