The Michigan American Local History Network is a central web page from which independent web sites containing historical or genealogical content about Michigan or it's counties, are linked.
If you are interested in hosting a Michigan county, please contact Bonnie McVicar-Briggs, Lesley Moss or Sondra Higbee, the State Coordinators for Michigan. We will be happy to help you. We would be happy to have volunteers who prefer to host a township, city or cover a topic in a township too, such as religion, history, cemeteries, occupations, etc. We can easily link your page to the County it falls under.If you want to contribute, please check out the Volunteer FAQ Page. Alpena is another county named by Henry R. Schoolcraft combining "al" with "pinai" meaning "the partridge". The Ottawa and Chippewa Indians lived in this area when the earliest settlers arrived in the early 1830's. Alpena became a lumbering center with vast timber stands and many rivers. Small burial mounds have been found on the banks of the Thunder Bay and Devil Rivers. and the oldest artifacts in the area are copper and stone tools dating to 1500BC. There are 80 shipwrecks in the Thunder Bay Underwater Preserve and it is a popular scuba diving area. County links:
