      Keweenaw County, Michigan, is characterized by its vast landscapes and sparse winter population, which swells during the summer months with seasonal residents. Established in 1861 from Houghton County, it occupies the northern part of the Keweenaw Peninsula, historically significant for its copper mining boom in the 1800s. The construction of Fort Wilkins in Copper Harbor was pivotal for maintaining order among miners and the Ojibwa people. Over the years, the county evolved from a mining hub to a center for maritime, fishing, and lumbering industries, ultimately transforming into a popular resort destination.
