The HISTORY OF
L'ANSE TOWNSHIP
Written by Gertrude Cosgrove, the
Winner of First Prize in
LAnse High School

The village Of L'Anse, principal
town of L'Anse township and the seat
of Baraga county, is situated at the
head of L'Anse Bay and at the mouth
of Falls River, in the northwest quar-
ter of the county, sixty-three miles
northwest of Marquette, thirty-two
miles southeast Of Houghton and five
hundred miles from Detroit by water.
The place takes its name from the
beautiful bay upon which it is stu
ated and which was named L'Anse
(meaning arc or handle) by the early
French explorers. This spot was
picked out for settlement because
it was the best, safest and most beau
tiful harbor on the bay.
Up to the year 1871 and 1872 the
only settlements on L'Anse. Bay were
the Catholic and Methodist Missions.
The Methodist Mission was situated
about three miles from L'Anse.
Many early French explorers and
priests had landed here several hun
dred years ago. Among these priests
were Father Baraga and Father Mar
quette. Douglas Houghton landed
here also. Later few Methodist
missionaries came and, established q
mission here to convert the Indians t.
Christianity.
The Astor Fur Company had ful
trading post here which was estab
lished in 1880 and the first trader wa,
John Holiday.
Tho. Indian cabins which lined tn
shore were mostly built by order o
Reverend John Clark, one Of the frs
Methodist missionaries TO come d
this part of the country. At the tim
Of 1910 they bore evident marks o
: age and decay. The mission hous
was Of hewed logs, about twenty-fou
feet long and sixteen feet wide, con
sisting Of one and one-half stories an
covered with cedar bark. At the bac
of the house was o little shanty al
tached, which was used by the mil
sionaries for study.
At this time the only white s$ttler
at this place were the governmer

Mission, three miles distant.
