The population estimate for July 1, 1998 was 1,744, a decrease of 265 since 1990. Tawas City was named after a local Ottawa Indian Chief, Otawas, it was founded in 1854 by Gideon O. Whittemore, a former judge in Oakland County, who moved here and built a sawmill. This town was a major player in the lumber era of the late 1800s, being the home of the historic Detroit & Mackinac Railroad. Some of its buildings still exist today, and can be seen along US-23 to the east. It was incorporated as a village in 1885 and later as a city in 1895.
