Luce County is a county located in the eastern part of the Upper Peninsula in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2020 census, the population was 6,574, making it one of the most sparsely populated counties in the state. The county seat is Newberry. Luce County was created on March 2, 1887, from the western part of Chippewa County and named in honor of Michigan Governor Cyrus G. Luce (1887-90).
The area was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, most notably the Ojibwe (Chippewa). European fur traders and missionaries began to explore the region in the 17th century. In the early 19th century, the timber industry emerged, attracting settlers to exploit the vast pine and hardwood forests in the area. The economy in Luce County primarily centered on logging, farming, and mining, and several towns sprang up near these industries.
Luce County is known for its natural beauty, pristine forests, and abundant wildlife, including the presence of the endangered eastern massasauga rattlesnake. A fun fact about the region is that it is home to Tahquamenon Falls State Park, which boasts one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River. The 50,000-acre park attracts thousands of visitors annually who enjoy hiking, camping, and viewing the picturesque Tahquamenon River and its impressive waterfalls.
