Port Ludlow was founded by Pope & Talbot, Inc. in the 1870-'s as one of the first logging and sawmill communities on the Puget Sound. The town and mill were maintained by Pope & Talbot until the mid 1900's when the old sawmill as dismantled and most of the homes were loaded onto barges and transported across the Hood Canal to historic Port Gamble.

Plans for today's Port Ludlow were formalized in the 1960's, again by Pope & Talbot, for what has become a vital, diverse and prosperous residential community of homesites, homes and a variety of condominiums, plus a championship 27 hole golf course, a 300 slip full service marina and The Resort at Port Ludlow.

A pioneer in its own right, Port Ludlow has been a model for other communities in the northwest, often copied but never surpassed. When other were struggling with septic tanks, Pope & Talbot was installing the first secondary sewage treatment plant on the Olympic Peninsula and all other utilities were placed underground. Provisions for a perpetual Design Review Committee comprised of property owners were formalized and put into practice thus controlling the continues beauty and livability of Port Ludlow. And Owners' Association was formed enabling the owners to govern their own community to the greatest extent.
