Harbor Springs is in
Emmet County, and in the
Northern Region. This community is located northeast of
Traverse City between
Petoskey and Cross Village along Highway 119 near Little Traverse Bay and
Lake Michigan.
Incorporated as a village in 1881 and as a city in 1932, Harbor Springs has a rich history, from the Ottawa Indians who first lived here to the Jesuit Mission established here in 1742.
With a natural harbor and plenty of boat slips near the downtown area, this is a favorite location for those sailing the waters of Lake Michigan.
