Schoolcraft County is located
in the mid-eastern section of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, along the
northern shoreline of Lake Michigan. It was named after Henry Rowe Schoolcraft,
who was the first Indian Agent for the State of Michigan in the 1830’s,
and a major explorer and platter of Michigan’s undeveloped land at
that time. Although known history in this area dates back to 1634, when
Father Francis Baraga established a mission here, archeological findings
have discovered people to have lived in the land back to 500 BC. |
