COPPER HARBOR
EARLY IN 1843 THE U.S. WAR DEPARTMENT BUILT THE
"GOVERNMENT HOUSE AND ESTABLISHED A FEDERAL LAND AGENCY
ON PORTER'S ISLAND-THE SMALL NARROW ISLAND LYING JUST OFF
SHORE. PROSPECTORS FOUND SMALL DEPOSITS OF COPPER ORE AND
NATIVE COPPER IN THE CLIFFS AND ON THE RIDGES OF THE SUR-
ROUNDING HILLS. THE FIRST COPPER CLAIMS RECORDED IN MICHIGAN
UNDER FEDERAL LAW WERE LOCATED HERE IN 1843.
A RUSH FOLLOWED WHICH REACHED IT'S PEAK IN 1848. HUNDREDS
OF CLAIMS WERE LOCATED AND EXPLORED. COPPER HARBOR WAS A
BOOM TOWN WITH STORES, HOTELS AND SALOONS. THOSE WERE THE
DAYS OF WHISKEY AND WHISKERS. ONE OF THE EARLIEST NEWSPAPERS
IN MICHIGAN STARTED PUBLICATION HERE IN 1846 AS THE LAKE SUPERIOR
NEWS AND MINING JOURNAL WITH HEADQUARTERS AT THE ASTOR HOUSE.
