Manistee County, Michigan
|
|||||||||
|
Manistee County was organized in 1840. Its Indian name refers to the
reddish/brown ochre used for ceremonial decoration of the face and body. The
name also has a symbolic meaning, referring to spirit of the wind blowing
through the trees. During the mid 1800's, the area grew from lumber production, and later the
discovery of a rich vein of salt, still being produced today. Also, orchard
growing proved beneficial, with cherries and apples the best growing crops. |
