People built settlements near harbors and bays because they provided easy access to water for transportation, fishing, trade, and protection. These locations also often offered natural protection from storms and enemies, making them strategic choices for establishing communities.
The region that typically has broad lowlands and excellent harbors is a coastal area. These regions often support significant trade and maritime activities due to their convenient access to the sea and flat, fertile lands. Examples include areas along the East Coast of the United States, the Low Countries in Europe, and parts of Southeast Asia.
The Port of Seattle covers 2,280 acres of land and water along Seattle's waterfront. It is one of the most crucial ports in the United States for trade and tourism, handling millions of tons of cargo and welcoming millions of cruise passengers each year.
The Port of Seattle employs over 2,000 people across various departments and divisions. This includes administrative staff, operations personnel, maintenance workers, and more.

There are river ports and docks, but a harbor requires a seaport outlet, which Kentucky does not have.
I am going to try and improve this answer slightly. I think with the word "port" there is a little more guarantee that there is "port authority" involved and more police patrol, protection, guarantees for security for import and export trade business etc. A harbor doesn't necessarily define that. However many ports are called Harbors because they originally were harbors without port authority. All ports are harbors. All harbors are not ports.
Not completely correct, as there are a few ports above the polar circle that will freeze during winter. Most ports are too far south (closer to equator) to get cold temperatures in winter to make such a huge body of water as a sea (or inlet) freeze over.
