    CHRONOLOGY OF MICHIGAN HISTORY 1618-1701 1618 Etienne Brulé passes through North Channel at the neck of Lake Huron; that same year (or during two following years) he lands at Sault Ste. Marie, probably the first European to look upon the Sault. The Michigan Native American population is approximately 15,000. 1621 Brulé returns, explores the Lake Superior coast, and notes copper deposits. 1634 Jean Nicolet passes through the Straits of Mackinac and travels along Lake Michigan’s northern shore, seeking a route to the Orient. 1641 Fathers Isaac Jogues and Charles Raymbault conduct religious services at the Sault. 1660 Father René Mesnard establishes the first regular mission, held throughout winter at Keweenaw Bay. 1668 Father Jacques Marquette takes over the Sault mission and founds the first permanent settlement on Michigan soil at Sault Ste. Marie. 1669 Louis Jolliet is guided east by way of the Detroit River, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. 1671 Simon François, Sieur de St. Lusson, lands at the Sault, claims vast Great Lakes region, comprising most of western America, for Louis XIV. St. Ignace is founded when Father Marquette builds a mission chapel. First of the military outposts, Fort de Buade (later known as Fort Michilimackinac), is established at St. Ignace. 1673 Jolliet and Marquette travel down the Mississippi River. 1675 Father Marquette dies at Ludington. 1679 The Griffon, the first sailing vessel on the Great Lakes, is built by René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, and lost in a storm on Lake Michigan. ➤ La Salle erects Fort Miami at the mouth of the St.

Ruge: A Birthday for the Upper Peninsula A Birthday for the Upper Peninsula 1 By Mark Ruge In January, 2017, the State of Michigan celebrates its 180th birthday. Michiganders and others look forward to the celebration of the people, place, and history. However, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (U.P.) often considers itself apart from the Lower Peninsula. The region’s sparse population, remote geographic location, and water separation from the “Mitten,” often engenders a separate identity. While most Yooper’s are excited to be part of that celebration, proud to be part of Michigan, others consider it an oversight that the U.P.

  • Section 2: County Profile
    Section 2: County Profile Location Lucas County encompasses 343.43 square miles at the western tip of Lake Erie in northwest Ohio, bordering the southern boundary of the State of Michigan. (Figure 1) It was named for Governor Robert Lucas, who declared war on Michigan over a boundary dispute in 1835. When Ohio was admitted to the Union, no reference was made to its northern boundary. Both Ohio and Michigan claimed this western corner of Lake Erie. In 1836, the so called “Toledo War” was settled by the U.S. Congress, giving the disputed area to the State of Ohio. Interstate 80/90, US 20, and State Routes 2 and 64 cross the County east - west, and Interstate 75, US 23 and 24, and State Routes 51 and 295 run north - south. The Ottawa and Maumee Rivers flow through Lucas County. Toledo, the County seat, covers about 86 square miles of the County. The Port of Toledo provides access to both international and Great Lakes ports. Lucas County’s central location provides unparalleled access to major Midwest cities such as Chicago, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Columbus, St. Louis, Buffalo and Toronto. Over 93 million people live within a 500-mile radius of northwest Ohio, which comprises 38% of the US population and about 37% of US retail sales (Figure 2). According to the Lucas County Auditor’s Office, land use in Lucas County can be categorized as follows: Residential (72.8%), Commercial (22.1%), Industrial (3.95%), and Agricultural (1.2%). Due to its location on the west side of Lake Erie, the region enjoys the temperate effects from the Lake, while being spared the lake-effect winter weather often associated with the Great Lakes region.

    Established: June 20, 1835 County Seat: City of Toledo 2010 Population: 441,815 2020 Projection: 430,450 Land Area and Rank: 340.4 square miles, 85 of 88 Miles of Coast: 25 miles Number of Primary Access Sites: 9 Number of Right-of-Way Sites: 19 Miles of Publicly Accessible Coast: 9.1 miles* Lucas County Lucas County, Ohio’s westernmost coastal county, is adjacent to Fulton, Henry, Wood and Ottawa counties. Lenawee and Monroe counties in Michigan are to the northwest and northeast, respectively. Lucas County has a combined 25 miles of Lake Erie and Maumee Bay shore. Maumee Bay is generally defined as the portion of Lake Erie between Woodtick Peninsula in Michigan and Cedar Point in Jerusalem Township. Lucas County is named after Ohio’s twelfth governor, Robert Lucas. On August 20, 1794, the Battle of Fallen Timbers was fought in the present-day city of Maumee. It was the final and decisive battle of the Northwest Indian War. The Legion of the United States, led by General “Mad” Anthony Wayne, quickly defeated an allied confederacy of Native American forces led by Chief Blue Jacket of the Shawnee tribe and Chief Little Turtle of the Miami tribe. The American victory ended hostilities in the region and led to the signing of the Treaty of Greenville (1795), a peace treaty that opened up much of eastern and southern Ohio to American settlement. The northern tier of Lucas, Fulton and Williams counties, known as the “Toledo Strip,” was originally claimed by both Ohio and Michigan. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established the boundary between the Ohio and Michigan territories as an east-west bearing line extending from the southern point of Lake Michigan to Lake Erie.
