Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce
P.O. Box 640
Bridgeport, WA 98813
509.686.9501
Welcome to Bridgeport -- the gateway to the mighty Columbia River system. In the earlier days, the town was known as Westfield. Then in 1889 Mr. J. Covert and a group of investors purchased the entire township and renamed it for their previous hometown of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Because of the river rapids, steamers could go no further, so Bridgeport became the staging area for supplies.
Now a quiet community of 2250, Bridgeport is still a great place to raise a family. There are 51 miles of fishing and hunting upstream from the dam and 30 miles downstream to Wells Dam. There is more park square footage per resident than for any other city in Washington State. Events:
