Histori
The land around Marquette was known by French missionaries in the early seventeenth century and sycophants in the early nineteenth century. The development of the area did not begin until 1844, when William Burt and Jacob Houghton (brother of geologist Douglass Houghton) discovered iron deposits near Lake Teal west of Marquette. In 1845, Jackson Mining Company, the first organized mining company in the region, was formed.
The village of Marquette began on September 14, 1849, with the formation of a second iron problem, the Marquette Iron Company. Three people took part in organizing the company: Robert J. Graveraet, who had already procured the area for ores; Edward Clark, agent of Waterman A. Fisher from Worcester, Massachusetts, who finances the company, and Amos Rogers Harlow. The village was originally called New Worcester, with Harlow as the first postmaster. On August 21, 1850, the name was changed in honor of Jacques Marquette, a French Jesuit missionary who roamed the area. The second post office, named Carp River, opened on October 13, 1851 by Peter White, who went there with Graveraet at the age of 18. Harlow closed his post office in August 1852. The Marquette Iron Company failed, while his successor, the Cleveland Iron Mining Company, flourished and planted the village in 1854. The plate was recorded by Peter White. The White Office was renamed Marquette in April 1856, and the village was founded in 1859. It was founded as a city in 1871.
During the 1850s, Marquette was connected by train to a number of mines and became a leading shipping center on the Upper Peninsula. The first ore pocket dock, designed by early city leader John Burt, was built by the Cleveland Iron Mine Company in 1859. In 1862, the city had a population of over 1,600 and a soaring economy.
At the end of the 19th century, during the peak of iron mining, Marquette became known nationally as a summer paradise. Visitors brought by the Great Lakes passenger steamer fill the city's hotels and resorts.
South of the city, K. I. Sawyer Air Force Base was an important Air Force installation during the Cold War, host to B-52H bombers and KC-135 tankers from the Strategic Air Command, as well as combat interceptor squadrons. The base was closed in September 1995, and is now the Sawyer International Airport.
Marquette continues to be a harbor delivery of hematite ores and, today, enriched iron ore pellets, from nearby mines and pelletizing plants. About 7.9 million gross tons of pelletized iron ore passed through Marquette's Presque Isle Harbor in 2005.
