Welcome to
The Village of Baraga
The Village of Baraga is located in the northwestern part of Michigan's Upper Peninsula on L'Anse Bay, the lower part of Keweenaw Bay on the majestic Lake Superior shoreline. Baraga was founded on a site once occupied by an Indian Community, and the Village is today a part of the L'Anse Indian Reservation.
In the seventeenth century, the first white men came to the area
as French missionaries, voyageurs and traders following the south
shore of Lake Superior westward from Sault Ste, Marie, finding it
natural to stop along Keweenaw Bay. The early 1800's witnessed
extensive area involvement in the fur trade. Father Frederick Baraga
established a Roman Catholic Mission at Assinins in 1843. Both the
Village and the County took Father Baraga's name. The Village of
Baraga was incorporated in 1891. Lumbering, fishing, mining and
agriculture attracted a variety of immigrants to the area and
population peaked in the early part of the century. In recent years,
the economy of the area has shifted towards manufacturing,
tourism, and casino gaming and government services.
