Calumet Township was organized in 1866.〔Walter Romig, ''Michigan Place Names'', p. 94〕 Calumet emerged as three mining villages of Laurium, Hecla and South Hecla. Another village was known as Red Jacket, which existed as an incorporated village before 1929, in which year Laurium, Hecla, South Hecla and Red Jacket were combined. Calumet Township housed 60 saloons, 33 churches, 30 schools and five theatres. The Wolverine Mine opened in 1882. Large-scale production began in 1890. The mine closed in 1925. The old Wolverine Mine is famous among mineral collectors for copper, silver, epidote, and quartz specimens.〔(Wolverine Mine ) at Mindat.org〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Calumet Township, Michigan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
