Daggett, Michigan

Daggett is a village in Menominee County of the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 201 at the 2020 census, down from 258 in 2010. The village is located within Daggett Township and is part of the Marinette, WI–MI Micropolitan Statistical Area.

History
Daggett was originally named "Section 25". The name "Daggett" refers either to Elmira Daggett, a New York native who came to the area to visit her brother and is then said to have become the village's first postmistress, or to postmistress Clara Daggett's father (a native of Elmira, New York), the father-in-law of the village's founder, Thomas Faulkner.

The village of Daggett was incorporated on August 30, 1902. "Because of the number of fires in the village, and with no help from [Stephenson] township, the Daggett people decided the best way to get fire protection was to incorporate." Incorporated villages had been given the power to raise money for fire protection by the state legislature. The village lost little time in equipping a modern fire department. Mr. J. H. Earle, representing the Waterous Gasoline Fire Engine Co. of St. Paul, Minnesota, signed a contract with the village council on October 17, 1902, promising delivery of an engine and 1,000 feet of hose within 30 days. The Waterous product was among the most modern of the era, representing the transition from heavy steam-powered pumps. It coupled a four-cylinder gasoline motor to a 350 gallon-per-minute pump. The entire apparatus was light enough to be pulled rapidly by a team of horses or men. To provide ready water sources for the pumper, the village contracted during the last week of October 1902 for four cisterns to be dug at different locations in the village. The contract was completed by November 15, 1902. The engine was delivered to the village between November 17–21, 1902, the exact date being uncertain. Based on the report in the November 22, 1902 Menominee County Journal, the Daggett Volunteer Fire Department commenced operations on November 21, 1902. The modern fire engine in use at Daggett drew attention from neighboring communities, including the Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, fire department, who visited Daggett in January 1903 to observe the new engine. The Waterous unit likely served the village until replaced by a motorized engine from the same company in 1925.

Menominee, Michigan

Menominee is a city and the county seat of Menominee County, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula. The population was 8,488 at the 2020 census. It is the county seat of Menominee County. Menominee is the fourth-largest city in the Upper Peninsula, behind Marquette, Sault Ste. Marie, and Escanaba. Menominee Township is located to the north of the city, but is politically autonomous.

Menominee is part of the Marinette, WI–MI micropolitan statistical area.

History
In historic times, this area was the traditional territory of the Menominee Indian Tribe. The town of Menominee was named after their English name which roughly translates as "wild rice," a nickname given to them by their Ojibwe neighbors based on their cultivation of wild rice as a staple food. In their own language, they are known as Mamaceqtaw which means simply "the people", and the town of Menominee is known as Menīkāneh, which means "at the good village". They were removed to west of the Mississippi River and now have a reservation along the Wolf River in North Central Wisconsin after ceding their territory to the United States in the 1836 Treaty of the Cedars.

Menominee gained prominence in the 19th century as a lumber town; in its heyday, it produced more lumber than any other city in the United States of America. During this time of prosperity, the Menominee Opera House was built. It is being restored. In the 1910s, a cycle car, the "Dudly Bug", was manufactured in Menominee. In the waning years of lumber production, local business interests, interested in diversifying Menominee's manufacturing base, attracted inventor Marshall Burns Lloyd and his Minneapolis company Lloyd Manufacturing, which made wicker baby buggies. In 1917, Lloyd invented an automated process for weaving wicker and manufactured it as the Lloyd Loom. This machine process is still in use today. In the 21st century, the economy of Menominee is based on manufacturing (paper products, wicker lawn furniture, and auto supplies) and tourism.

In 1940, during the "Vote for Gracie" publicity stunt in which comedian Gracie Allen ran for president, she was nominated for mayor of Menominee, but was disqualified because she was not a resident of the city.

Sports
The Menominee Maroons won the state high school championship in its division for basketball in 1967 and football in 1998, 2006 and 2007. In the 2006 season, the Maroons finished unbeaten and only allowed 38 points scored against them but their offense scored 513 points in that entire season. They beat the former Wisconsin and Minnesota Division One state champions. Menominee shares a historic high school football rivalry with neighbor Marinette, Wisconsin. The two have conducted the third-longest rivalry in the nation.

Menominee, like most good-sized towns, embraced the newly emerging 19th-century sport of football. A local group took the name of North End Athletic Club and under Manager McPhaul, were the visiting opponent for the newly formed Green Bay team sponsored by the Indian Packing Co. led by the eventual legend Captain Curly Lambeau. The Indian Co. Packers of Green Bay defeated the N.E.A.C. Colts of Menominee 53–0 at Hagemeister Field.

Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 5.48 sqmi, of which 5.15 sqmi is land and 0.33 sqmi is water. It is the southernmost city and location in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Menominee has a cairn marking the halfway point between the North Pole and the Equator. This is slightly north of the 45th parallel north, due to the flattening of the earth at the poles. This is one of six Michigan sites and 29 places in the U.S.A. where such signs are known to exist.

Menominee, Michigan, is also the site of the Menominee Crack, an unusual geological feature that formed spontaneously in 2010.

Twin city with Marinette, Wisconsin
Menominee and Marinette, Wisconsin are sometimes described as "twin cities".

Menominee shares a hospital, community foundation, newspaper and chamber of commerce with Marinette. Marinette is the principal city of the Marinette, Wisconsin–Menominee, Michigan Micropolitan Statistical Area. Numerous city groups work together to benefit the entire two-city, two-county and two-state community.

Climate

The location of the Ann Arbor car ferry slip in Lighthouse Ann Arbor Park has been converted to a boat launch.

Railroad
Currently, the railroad lines serving the twin cities only offer freight service as provided by the Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad.

The Milwaukee Road railroad began passenger service to Menominee in 1903. That year they constructed a rail passenger depot, running frequent trips between Menominee and Ellis Junction (now Crivitz). They shared the station tracks with the Wisconsin & Michigan Railway. The passenger ridership dropped significantly by 1920 causing the Milwaukee Road to abandon service to the Menominee station in May 1927 and after that closed the station. The Wisconsin and Michigan Railroad continued their freight service to 1938.

The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad also had a freight and passenger station on 7th Street in town. Passenger service to the C&NW station ended on July 16, 1969.

The Milwaukee Road railroad passenger station is located at 219 West Fourth Avenue. The station was built in 1903 originally as a part of the Menominee Branch Railroad Company (chartered July 2, 1883). Currently under private ownership.

Sanford, Michigan

Sanford is a village in Midland County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 813 at the 2020 census. The village is located within Jerome Township.

History
In 1864, Charles Sanford of Madison County, New York, purchased 213 acre of land where the village is now located, along with 1,000 acre of pine land. The site was first known as the "Salt-Spring Reserve", and was the location of the first salt well in the state. Douglass Houghton, the state surveyor and geologist, supervised sinking the shaft of the well. Charles Sanford moved there in May 1864. He platted the village in 1870. Romig identifies Jay F. Hamilton as the first postmaster of "Sanfordville" on June 23, 1871, while the Portrait and biographical album of Midland county, Mich. lists Phineas Hamilton as the first postmaster. The name was shortened to "Sanford" on July 13, 1871. Also in 1871, the Pere Marquette Railroad built a station in Sanford.

In 1963, residents of Sanford voted to incorporate as a village. In 1982, Sanford voters approved the repeal of its incorporation, but a Michigan court overturned the election results on the grounds that it should have been presented as one proposal instead of two.

On May 19, 2020, the Sanford Dam and Edenville Dam on the Tittabawassee River collapsed, forcing the evacuation of the village and largely destroying its downtown.
