Koss is an unincorporated community in Menominee County, Michigan, United States. Koss is located in Lake Township on the left bank of the Menominee River along S-1 Road, west-southwest of Stephenson.
==History==
Koss was founded in 1893 at the site of a saw and planing mill. It was originally named Fischer, after the Chicago clothing company Kuh, Nathan, and Fischer,〔 〕 which turned the local logging line into a railroad that extended north to Miscauno Island. After it was determined that there was already another Fischer post office in Michigan, the village was renamed Koss after the railroad auditor Otto A. Koss, and George P. Gunderson was appointed as the first postmaster on March 26, 1896.〔 The Wisconsin and Michigan Railroad relocated its business office to Koss in 1897 because of its importance as a lumber town. The town had a population of nearly 2,000 before it was destroyed by a fire in 1900.〔 The town was struck by fires again in 1902,〔 〕〔 〕 1908 (destroying 18 homes),〔 〕 and 1930.〔 〕 A stream gauge was established at the Koss Bridge on June 21, 1907. The C. H. Worcester company store, managed by Samuel Mackevich, operated in Koss until 1909.〔 〕〔 〕 The town went into decline, and the post office was closed on March 31, 1913.〔 Koss was characterized as a ghost town by the 1940s.〔 However, it still supported a small population and logging operations. In the 1940s, the Duffrin mill was sawing 2,000 to 3,000 board feet of lumber a day from deadhead logs harvested from the Menominee River.〔 〕
