The area that is now Bridgeport was settled in the late 19th century and called Westfield at the time. Some of the earliest settlers in the area were Chinese miners extracting gold from the banks of the Columbia River.

Developers purchased the town in 1892 and renamed it after where they had come from, Bridgeport, Connecticut. The city was incorporated in 1910.

The biggest economic boom to come to the city came in the form of the building of the massive Chief Joseph Dam just upstream from the city limits.
