In 1891, the approximately 500 residents of what became Port Vue decided to separate from Lincoln Township and create a new borough. They met in a schoolhouse on the old Edmundson farm and first thought of naming the borough Grandview. However, because of the beautiful view of the port that McKeesport had on the Youghiogheny River, they agreed on Port Vue instead.
