Grand Traverse County History
Grand Traverse County takes its name from Grand Traverse Bay, a reference to the long “grande traversée” French voyageurs made across its mouth. The county’s earliest permanent Euro-American settlement grew around the mission at Old Mission (1839), after the 1836 Treaty of Washington opened the area to settlement alongside longstanding Anishinaabe homelands. The county was set off in 1840 and organized in 1851; Traverse City emerged as the seat and commercial hub, first on lumber, then agriculture—especially cherries—and later tourism and healthcare. Today, the county encompasses the Old Mission Peninsula and a necklace of inland lakes, with public lands, parks, and a thriving arts scene anchored by Interlochen. For more details, see the county’s official site or consult the county’s Wikipedia entry.
