This article undertakes a critical survey of current historiography of port cities, which have recently begun to attract considerable interest from historians, and particularly from global historians of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The article contextualizes this body of scholarship within larger trends in the field, both new and old. In this literature, port cities have predominantly been analyzed as "nodal points" or "hubs" within global networks. The article argues that port cities can also provide historians with a concrete narrative focal point for developing empirically grounded global histories, and remind us of the various efforts that have been undertaken to control, limit, or prevent unwanted forms of mobility and entanglement.
