 [ Daily Tolkien ] Seeking the wayward children of Numenor
Pelargir began as a royal haven, probably a naval base of some sort, an extension or assertion of Numenorean power.
The difference between the colonists of Pelargir and the colonists of Eriador, therefore, may also be that the early families of the north were more pure-blooded than the early families of the south.
Pelargir may have welcomed the sons of Elendil but there was either no room for five shiploads of refugees there or else the tradition of opening new lands prevailed and Isildur and Anarion led a new wave of conquest and colonization north along the river's shores.

 Seeking the Wayward Children of Numenor
Pelargir was founded in 2350, about 100 years after Tar-Ancalimon became King of Numenor (Tar-Atanamir took the scepter in 2251 according to the Tale of Years in LOTR, Tar-Ancalimon took it in 2221 according to the Line of Elros in
So the establishment of Pelargir as a royal haven doesn't necessarily preclude the possibility that it was always a refuge for the Faithful.
The implication of the gradual drift of the Faithful toward Pelargir is that the peoples of Eriador made a relatively swift recovery from the devastations of the War of the Elves and Sauron.

 Descent: 1. Pelargir, spring of 1431 of the Third Age - Stories - Henneth Annûn
Times were hard in Pelargir lately, especially for the denizens of Outwall Town, down in the depths of the Mariner's Row.
The Row, as it was called—home to the many who worked Pelargir's great docks and ship halls, to all the crafters and merchants that a port city needed to keep its harbor in good repair and its goods on the move, and to the taverns and brothels that landed sailors inevitably sought out.
Indeed, for all he had been born in Pelargir, he knew to stay out of the wealthier tavern districts after dark, for Umbarrim were not trusted, which was to say that Haradrim were not trusted, for it was harder to tell the Umbarian Dúnedain from their more northerly cousins.

The men of Pelargir built and fortified that bridge a thousand years ago, and it had never been unguarded since that day, for it was the only land route into the south of Anórien.
Because Pelargir guarded both this bridge and the great river Anduin itself, it was known throughout Gondor as the Gate of the South.
Four abreast, the knights of Pelargir poured forth from the gate, lances bristling to the sky, and the sound of their passing was as the breaking of the sea on the rock-bound coasts of Anfalas.

In the city port of Pelargir, the crowded dockside was a hubbub of activity.
Sped on by the unnatural gale from the ocean, it seemed to be pulled into the harbour by invisible ropes, until, almost imperceptibly, the ship slowed as it entered the waters of Pelargir, and an anchor was dropped with a scream of chains.
In the narrow backstreets of Pelargir, one of the many taverns was at the heart of its business; the hours between sunset and when the clientele could no longer stand were generally the most profitable.

Pelargir was the greatest port of Gondor, located at the confluence of the River Sirith and the mouth of the Anduin.
Because the Hornburg was built by the Men of Gondor during the reign of the Ship-Kings (830-1149), who favoured the city of Pelargir and brought the navy to it's height.
My reasoning was that with Pelargir at its height, and trade throughout Gondor prospering, the ships of Pelargir could bring architects, masons or stone up the river to the site of the Hornburg.

In addition to the two Strongholds, the city of Pelargir must be captured and this is often the wisest place to begin the attack on Gondor.
The event cards that allow the Shadow to move his armies and muster in advanced positions can give a real boost in the assault on Gondor but the most useful one is probably “Corsairs of Umbar,” which will allow the Southrons to launch an assault on Dol Amroth all the way from Umbar.
Pelargir is extremely difficult to hang on to if the Shadow launches the first attack here, but both Dol Amroth and Minas Tirith can be defended if needed.

She now must be content with the power she has: acting through her loyal senators and protecting Pelargir inside and out with her troupe of Blue Dragons, a guard of people from this land and distant planets, for Artemis does not distinguish between Umaia and Peacebreaker.
