The port was originally known as the Tri-City Regional Port District before a major expansion in 2000 when it took over the closing U.S. Army Charles Melvin Price Support Center. Renamed River’s Edge, it was later called America’s Central Port and provides loading/offloading facilities for barge, rail and truck traffic, industrial development, as well as residential and warehouse space and is a major player in the region’s transportation infrastructure. In 2015, a change in the law expanded the port’s reach from the Granite City area up to Grafton.
