According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.01 square miles (2.62 km2), all land.

Port Hope Schools, which had been in operation since 1925, closed its doors in the spring of 2015.

In 1851, William Stafford, while living in Lexington, bought the first parcel of land in what is now Port Hope, with Reuben Dimond.

Later, Stafford and William Southard invested in buying up forty-acre parcels from the government.

Traveling to the area by schooner, Southard was let off at some distance from shore, due to a pending storm.

Rowing in a skiff in the wind, he vowed that if he made it to shore, he would name the spot Port Hope.

Stafford, along with others, opened up the area to lumbering and by 1858 his company dock was constructed and mills were in operation.

A national historic site, the Sawmill chimney erected in 1858 graces the waterfront adjacent to a large enclosed pavilion.

Showers and a sanitary station, boat launch, picnic grounds, shelters, swimming, playground and fishing.
