Ishpeming Michigan

Ishpeming is in Marquette County, and in the Northern Region. This community is located just west of Marquette along US Highway 41 near the Escanaba River and Lake Superior.

In the beginning mining days, when it was first settled in 1856, the site was known as the Lake Superior Location. It took its name from its parent, the Lake Superior Location. In 1862 it received the name of Ishpeming (Chippewa for heaven or high place). Captain Gilbert d. Johnson became the settlement's first postmaster on February 17, 1863. In 1871 this area was incorporated as a village, and as a city in 1873.

Comments: In the afternoon traffic seems congested. A group of friends visited Ishpeming earlier this year. There seem to be unexpected weather in the PM. Housing costs sure have risen since our last visit. Ishpeming IMHO seems to have more than enough helpful folks in the shops. To have a well spent afternoon, check out U.S. National Ski Hall of Fame Museum. This is a great place.
