The Leland Historic District, colloquially known as Fishtown, is a historic district roughly bounded by the park, Main Street, Avenue A, and the harbor, in Leland, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1973〔 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.〔
==History==
In 1853, Leland pioneer Antoine Manseau constructed a dam across the Carp River at this location.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Leland Historic District )〕 Manseau built a sawmill and docks, setting up Leland as a wooding station for steamers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Leland, MI )〕 By 1867, 200 people had settled in Leland. The area also began to develop a fishing fleet, with commercial increasing in importance from the 1870s through the 1890s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Fishtown Preservation )〕 More development followed, and in 1886 the county seat was moved to Leland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Leelenau Township )〕
In the early 1900s, fishermen began enclosing their open boats and adding gasoline engines, which increased the scale of fishing operations.〔 By 1937, two breakwaters were constructed in the waters of Lake Michigan, which also facilitated the rise of the local fishing industry.〔 However, in the 1940s, the whitefish and trout populations in the lake were decimated by sea lampreys. Although commercial fishing operations continued, the area relied more heavily on tourism and charter operations. In the 21st century, the harbor area contains a mix of commercial fishing and tourist operations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Leland )〕
