Mackinaw City, Michigan
Mackinaw City is a village in Emmet and Cheboygan counties in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 806 at the 2010 census; the population surges during the summer tourist season with the influx of seasonal workers who labor in the shops, hotels and other recreational facilities there and in the surrounding region. Mackinaw City is at the northern tip (headland) of the Michigan's Lower Peninsula along the southern shore of the Straits of Mackinac. Across the straits lies the state's Upper Peninsula. These two land masses are physically connected by the 8,614-foot (2,626 m) Mackinac Bridge, which runs from Mackinaw City north to St. Ignace.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the Bridge )〕 Mackinaw City is also the primary base for Ferry service to Mackinac Island, located to the northeast in the straits.
According to AAA's 2009 TripTik requests, Mackinaw City is the most popular tourist city in the state of Michigan.〔Following are: Traverse City, Muskegon, Frankenmuth/Birch Run, Boyne Mountain, Dearborn/The Henry Ford (also known as the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village), Munising, Sault Sainte Marie, Dundee, Saugatuck/Douglas and Lansing. (2009 Memorial Day driving, AAA Michigan Triptik requests. )〕 Local attractions include Fort Michilimackinac, the Mackinac Bridge, the Mackinaw Crossings shopping mall, Mill Creek, the Old Mackinac Point Light, the Historic Village, the McGulpin Point Light, and the retired US Coast Guard Icebreaker Mackinaw.
The official name of the community is "The Village of Mackinaw City" and as that suggests, it is a village by state law. Mackinaw City is governed by the General Law Village Act, Public Act No. 3, of 1895, as amended.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mackinawcity.org/government-9/ )〕 The downtown district and much of the development lies within Mackinaw Township, Cheboygan County, but the larger portion of the village by area is in Wawatam Township, Emmet County, which borders Mackinaw Township to the west.
==History==
When the French arrived at the Straits of Mackinac in the 17th century, the predominant tribes were three Algonquian tribes, known collectively as the Council of Three Fires: Chippewa (Ojibwe), Ottawa (Odawa), and Potawatomi. Although not having permanent settlements in the area according to European thinking, these tribes frequented the area of the Straits to fish, hunt, trade, and worship. Mackinac Island in the straits appeared to have the shape of a turtle; which led the Native Americans here to believe that the turtle contributed to life's beginnings. The Straits of Mackinac sat at the meeting of two routes vital to the fur trade: one to Montreal in the east, by way of Lake Nipissing and the Ottawa River valley, and the other to Detroit in the south via Lakes Huron and St. Clair.
