The community was first settled circa 1803, and the first school house was erected in approximately 1823. In 1822 a well-known black walnut tree, measuring about 10 feet (3.0 m) in diameter, was blown over in a storm. The village of Silver Creek was incorporated in 1848. Silver Creek was an important port on Lake Erie until railroads reduced shipping. The village is home to a skew arch railroad bridge built in 1869 over Jackson Street. On September 14, 1886, an excursion train collided head-on with a freight train on the Nickel Plate Railroad about a mile east of the village. The collision killed at least 16 people.
