history

In 1634 the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed in La Baye (now Green Bay ). He explored the area and came across settlements of the Menominee tribe at the mouth of the Menominee River, where the town of Menominee can be found today. The area around the estuary was swampy, which encouraged the growth of wild rice . The name of the indigenous people living there, Menominee , means something like "wild rice eaters".

In 1790, the Canadian Louis Chappieau opened a fur trading company in what is now Menominee County. In 1832 the first sawmill was built and the timber industry flourished. By 1890 the area had developed into the No. 2 leading logging region in the country. After 1917 agriculture began to replace the timber industry. Michigan's first agricultural school was founded in Menominee County.

In 1896, parts of Menominee County were assigned to the newly formed Dickinson County.
