Box service.〔(ZIP Code Lookup ), United States Postal Service 〕 The community was first settled in 1867. An amygdaloid copper lode was mined by various companies from 1882 through 1925. A post office opened on November 20, 1893, with Barnett S. Shearer as the first postmaster. It was named for the USS ''Kearsarge'' (1861) by a former naval officer who was an employee of the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company. It had a station on the Hancock and Calumet Railroad (which became part of Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway). During the Great Depression, workers with the WPA built a memorial to the 1862 naval ship out of stones, though the monument bears little resemblance to the sloop it commemorates.〔("KEARSARGE" ), ''Hunts' Guide to Michigan's UPPER PENINSULA''〕〔("Kearsarge, Michigan - U.S.S.
