Grand Marais, located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, has a rich history tied to the Great Lakes and the lumber industry. Here's an overview of its history:

• Early History: The area around Grand Marais was initially inhabited by Native American tribes, primarily the Ojibwe (also known as Chippewa) people. They relied on fishing, hunting, and gathering for their livelihood.
• Lumber Era: In the late 1800s, the lumber industry boomed in the region. Grand Marais became an important logging town with several sawmills established along the shores of Lake Superior. Logging camps, timber transportation via rivers, and the proximity to vast forests contributed to the growth of the industry.
