Cheboygan is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 4,876. It is the county seat of Cheboygan County.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=June 7, 2011 )〕 The name of the city shares the name of the county and probably has its origin from the Cheboygan River, although the precise meaning is no longer known. It may have come from an Ojibwe word ''zhaabonigan'' meaning "sewing needle". Alternatively, the origin may have been "Chabwegan," meaning "a place of ore."〔(Michigan County names per the Michigan government. ) Compare (History of the name "Sheboygan" ) and List of Michigan county name etymologies. 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Clarke Historical Library, Central Michigan University )〕 The city is at the mouth of the Cheboygan River on Lake Huron. U.S. Highway 23 (US 23) connects with Interstate 75 (I-75) at Mackinaw City and the Mackinac Bridge, about to the northwest. Rogers City is about to the southeast. M-27 runs south from the city along the north shore of Mullett Lake to I-75 at Indian River about to the southwest. M-33 runs due south along the east shore of Lake Mullett to M-68 about to the south. ==History== Cheboygan was originally an Ojibwe settlement. In 1844, Jacob Sammons, a cooper from Fort Mackinac, chose the old native camping ground (then called "Shabwegan") as the site for his cabin. He recruited other settlers, and a post office named "Duncan" was established in 1846. The area became known as Cheboygan in 1870. It was incorporated as a village in 1871 and as a city in 1889. It was made the county seat in 1853. There was a theater built in town in 1877. Part of what is today the city of Cheboygan was known as Duncan or Duncan City when given a post office in 1850 as a result of the building of sawmills in this area. Duncan was made the county seat in 1853 and the location of the federal land office in 1855. The county seat shifted to Cheboygan in about 1870. Later Duncan was included within the expanded boundaries of Cheboygan.〔 In approximately 1890, Cheboygan became the home port for ferryboats to nearby Bois Blanc, an island in the Straits of Mackinac. The ''Kristen D'' is a ferry which operates between Cheboygan and Bois Blanc Island.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Plaunt Transportation, Inc. :: Ferry Service to Bois Blanc Island )〕 Early in the 20th century, it was home to the pioneering brass era cyclecar maker, Flagler.〔It was a 900 pd (408 kg) vehicle which cost US$450. Clymer, p.166.〕 In 1944, Cheboygan became the home port of the former U.S. Coast Guard cutter and icebreaker ''Mackinaw'', serving from 1944-2006. Beginning in 2006, the port continued this role as the home dock of the new ''Mackinaw'', a successor cutter. 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「Cheboygan, Michigan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
