Welcome to Montmorency County, Michigan!
A bit of history: Before Europeans arrived the Chippewa
tribes of the Ojibwa nation, a branch of the Algonquin
language family, inhabited Northern Michigan. Archaeological finds indicate that they lived along the Great Lakes
most of the year, and made annual gathering and hunting
trips into the interior areas. There were some mounds in
the Lewiston area that university archaeologist investigated years ago.
Early Europeans arrived, and many were French explorers and trappers, exploring from the settlements in
Canada. Montmorency was the name of an early French
Bishop of Canada. Before the county was chartered in
1881, it was territorial Cheonoquet County, or “Big
Cloud” in Ojibwa. It was also part of other counties as the
state developed during the 1800’s.
The Homestead Act of 1812 created land grants, and
some early farmsteads have those, signed by U.S. Presidents of the day. Early settlers often built a log cabin first,
and later, as they cleared land and had time to saw boards
and dry them, frame homes and business buildings were
built.
Atlanta was named after Atlanta, Georgia, when Alfred
J. West visited here, working on the Old State Road from
Alpena to Traverse City. He felt the great white pine
looked like the southern yellow pine stands in Georgia.

M-32 WEST OF ATLANTA
He bought land here and developed a number of businesses to get Atlanta established.
Hillman was named after John Hillman Stevens, who
platted the town and gave it his middle name. The
combination of wood frame buildings and wood-fired
heating stoves was dangerous, and some of Hillman’s
downtown burned several times, the worst in 1908.
Lewiston got its name from Lewis Jensen, the company
bookkeeper at the Michelson and Hanson Lumber Company. The company built three hotels, two mills and
helped create the town. Perhaps the loggers in the lumber
camps came in to “Lewis’s town” when they got paid, and
it was quite a lively place on those paydays.
The county seat started in Hillman, was sort of taken by
Atlanta in an election, and another election would have
moved it to Lewiston, but ballot-box fraud negated that
election. Early railroads served the county for a short
time, but as the economy changed when the pine was
logged off, the county became a tourism destination with
a mix of farming and light industry to support the
commercial businesses.
The county today: About 43 percent of the county is
public land. Clear Lake State Park is well appointed for
RV’s and travel trailers, state forest campgrounds are
more rustic settings, and you can pick up a wilderness

camp permit from the DNR to camp out on public land.
Montmorency County is home to Michigan’s unique
elk herd. An eastern variety elk was native to Michigan,
but was killed off as food for lumber camps. Rocky
Mountain elk were brought in and got established in the
northwest quarter of the county, and have spread out
from there. About 1000 elk is the target for wildlife
managers, since any less and they are not very easy to find,
and any more causes them to spread out into farm areas
and cause crop damage. A limited hunt is held each year,
to maintain approximately that target population.
The area has long been a popular place for whitetail deer
hunters. Wild turkey is a Michigan success story, and
those were re-established near Fairview and have grown
in population. Ruffed grouse and woodcock are popular
game birds here.
The area has black bear, bobcat and coyote, and a few
wolves have been found, which migrated across the ice
from the Upper Peninsula one cold winter. There have
been sightings of cougar here, but that’s a statewide
controversy.
Bald eagles have nests in tall trees near some area lakes,
and osprey were established in Fletcher Floodwater and
maintain their numbers. Many ducks, geese and loons are
favorites for people to watch on local lakes.
