Traverse City Live Cam

Traverse City is a city located in the northwestern part of the lower peninsula of Michigan, in the United States. The area now known as Traverse City was originally inhabited by the Anishinaabek people, who named the region "wequetong," meaning "at the head of the bay."

In 1852, a group of settlers led by Captain Boardman arrived in the area and established a village on the shores of Grand Traverse Bay. The settlement was named after the bay and became known as Traverse City. The village grew rapidly due to the area's abundant natural resources, including timber, fish, and fertile land for agriculture.
