Summary
Since the beginning of, known, time, Mackinac has been a place of environmental balance. First providing protected fishing grounds for the Annisnabeeg, and a safe hiding place for the Odawa. In 1615, the first French explorers found their way from Canada, into the Great Lakes via the Saint Lawrence and Ottawa rivers.
Explorers and Priests, LaSalle, Hennepin, Cadillac, Father Marquette, and Joliet all visited Mackinac Island, while the French fur trade flourished. By the 1700s, British fur traders made their way into the Great Lakes and up to Mackinac. Shortly after the French and Indian War, the British took control of the Straits of Mackinac and in 1780 began the plans for Fort Mackinac.
The fur trade continued under British control until after the American Revolution and War of 1812. In 1815, the Treaty of Ghent forced the British from the Island, as it had now become American soil and part of the Northwest Territory. In the same year, John Jacob Astor formed the American Fur Trade Company.
In 1875, Mackinac Island became the second National Park (Yellowstone being first), in the Nation. The National Park was disbanded in 1895, and all Federal property was given to the state of Michigan forming Michigan’s first state park.
