Mackinaw City is located in Cheboygan County and Emmet County, at the very top of Michigan�s lower peninsula, at the southern side of the Mackinaw Bridge. Gateway to the U.P., it is one of the top-of-the-list places to see in Michigan. Its many attractions include Fort Michilimackinac, the Old Mackinac Lighthouse, and Mill Creek. It also serves 3 passenger boat lines to Mackinac Island. Its many unique stores and restaurants along the main street area make it a great place to shop. The view of the Bridge is a must-see from the park along the coastline on the city�s north side.

Mackinaw City has a rich history. Samuel Champlain commissioned Jean Nicolet to explore the area in 1634 and make peace with the Indians. It eventually became a fur-trading post and later the site of the Fort, active from 1712-1781. The surrounding area was first officially platted in 1857. In 1870, George W. Stimson set up a store which led to the eventual formation of the town. It was incorporated as a village in 1882.
