The town grew from the central area of the present town and thus many of the towns historic buildings are found here. Port Glasgow expanded up the steep hills to open fields where areas such as Boglestone and Devol where founded. This area has subsequently become known as upper Port Glasgow and most of the towns population occupies these areas.
