History

Menominee gets its name from a regional Native American tribe known as the Menominee, which roughly translates into "Wild Rice". Menominee gained prominence as a lumber town. In its heyday Menominee produced more lumber than any other city in America. During this time and shortly after, Menominee boasted an opera house, which is being restored [1]. Today, Menominee relies on manufacturing (paper products, lawn furniture, auto supplies, tourism, etc.) for its economic well-being.

Seeing The Light - Menominee North Pier Light (955 words)
Menominee continued to grow as a lumber port, and with the establishment of a post office in 1863 and the arrival of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad in 1871, the town was really on the map.
While the Range was considerably closer to the Menominee harbor, the presence of ore docks in Escanaba since 1863, and the pre-existing infrastructure to handle the ore weighed heavily in the decision to bypass Menominee as the ore shipping point for the ore being excavated at the Range.
The town of Menominee continued to reap the benefits of the Range, and as a result significant harbor improvements were undertaken in the 1920's, At their completion in 1927, a prefabricated octagonal cast iron tower was delivered by vessel, and lowered onto the pier.
