Copper Harbor, Michigan
Copper Harbor is a small unincorporated community in northeastern Keweenaw County in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is within Grant Township on the Keweenaw Peninsula which juts out from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan into Lake Superior.
==History==
The town's name alludes to the former use of its harbor as a port for shipping copper mined from local deposits during the mid-19th century.
The Pittsburgh and Boston Mining Company, formed by John Hays of Cleveland, Ohio, began operating in Copper Harbor in 1844. It was a small development at first, but its mine was modern for its time, and the company struck it rich in 1845. A few years later, the Central and other mines opened and became successful.〔Whittlesey, Charles (1852). ''4000 Years of Copper Country History.'' Greenlee Printing Co.〕〔Mansfield, John Brandt (1899). ''History of the Great Lakes'', p. 199. J. H. Beers & Co.〕 By 1870, the copper resources had been largely worked out.〔Dunbar, Willis Frederick, & May, George S. (1995). ''Michigan: A History of the Wolverine State'', p. 358. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.〕
Mining activity no longer exists, and the town's harbor is mostly used for recreational purposes such as snowmobiling and for a ferry that connects Isle Royale National Park to northern Michigan.
