Bainbridge became home to the Conoy and Nanticoke tribes in the early 1700s when English settlers pushed them out of their original homes. Before the move, the Conoys lived in the area that is now Baltimore, and the Nanticokes lived across the Chesapeake Bay in what is now Delaware. In 1632, there were about 2,500 among the tribes, and by 1697 there were only about 300, due to diseases brought to America by the English.

Pennsylvania Route 441 passes through the community northeast of the downtown, leading northwest (upstream along the Susquehanna River) 9 miles (14 km) to Middletown and southeast (downstream) 10 miles (16 km) to Columbia.
