Schoolcraft County, Michigan
![]() |
|||||||||
|
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. |
