Baraga County, Michigan
.Baraga County is located in the Upper Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. It was named after Bishop Frederic Baraga, a Slovenian missionary who served in the area during the 19th century. The county was officially established on February 19, 1875, splitting from Houghton County, and its boundaries were finalized on October 29, 1875.
The area has a rich history encompassing Native American heritage, European missionaries, and a thriving logging and mining industry. The indigenous Ojibwa Tribe, also known as Chippewa, lived in the region for centuries before the arrival of European settlers. Father Frederic Baraga, whom the county was named after, ministered to the Native Americans and helped establish the L'Anse Indian Reservation in 1843.
In the mid-19th century, the region witnessed a large influx of settlers due to the discovery of valuable minerals, such as copper and iron. Sawmills and iron smelting factories began to emerge along with the growing logging industry. The expanding railroad and booming industries contributed significantly to the growth and development of Baraga County.
Today, Baraga County houses several historic sites, beautiful parks, and various recreational opportunities. It is a hub for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy activities like fishing, snowmobiling, and hunting. A fun fact about Baraga County is that it's home to the Bishop Baraga Shrine, also known as the Shrine of the Snowshoe Priest, a 60-foot tall statue built in honor of the county's namesake. The impressive monument pays tribute to Bishop Baraga's dedication to the Native American people and his snowshoe travels across the region during harsh winters.
