Ontonagon County, in the great state of Michigan, is located in the Upper Peninsula and was established on March 9, 1843. The county gets its name from the Ontonagon River that runs through it; the word "Ontonagon" is derived from the Ojibwe word "Nondon-organ," which means "hunting river." The area was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, primarily the Ojibwe people.

During the 1840s, Ontonagon County experienced a significant copper mining boom after the discovery of large copper deposits. This led to an influx of settlers, miners, and entrepreneurs in search of fortune. The county became an important economic and industrial center, with the mining industry driving growth for many years.

By the early 20th century, the lumber industry began to thrive in the county, replacing mining as the primary economic driver. The vast forests of the Upper Peninsula provided ample resources for logging and lumber milling.

One fun fact about Ontonagon County is that it is home to the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, which encompasses 59,020 acres and is Michigan's largest state park. The park is named after the Porcupine Mountains, a range of small mountains that stretch along the Lake Superior shoreline. With stunning views, pristine forests, and numerous recreational activities like hiking and skiing, the park attracts tourists from around the globe.

Additionally, the Ontonagon Lighthouse is an important historical landmark in the region. Built in 1866, it was used to guide mariners into the Ontonagon River from Lake Superior, providing safe passage for the ships carrying copper and other minerals. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1964 but continues to be a popular tourist attraction and symbol of the county's rich maritime history.
