| Historical Sketch of Marquette County, Michigan |
Marquette County, named in honor of the Jesuit priest and explorer Jacques Maquette, lies in the rich iorn-ore district of the north-central Upper Peninsula. To the east are Delta and Alger Counties, to the south Dickenson and Menominee, to the west Iron and Baraga. Lake Superior established the northern boundary. These lines were set in 1843, when the Upper Peninsula was divivded into six counties established simultaneously to facilitate the completion of a topographical survey being taken by the eminent geologist and surveyor, Dr. Doughlas Houghton,. Marquette County was not formally organized, however, until April 4, 1848. |
