Grand Traverse County History
Grand Traverse County is located in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan in the United States. The area was originally inhabited by the Ojibwe and Ottawa Native American tribes, who were later joined by French fur traders in the 18th century.
The first permanent settlement in the area was established in 1839 by a group of Presbyterian missionaries led by Peter Dougherty. The settlement, known as "the Mission," was located on the Old Mission Peninsula, just north of present-day Traverse City. The missionaries built a school, sawmill, and gristmill, and began farming the land.
