Big Bay Summary

Bay Township is located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, in the county of Delta. It is bordered by the townships of Garden, Masonville, and Nahma. The township is situated on the shores of Lake Michigan, and is home to the village of Big Bay.

History

The area that is now Bay Township was first inhabited by the Ojibwe people, who were the original inhabitants of the Upper Peninsula. The first European settlers arrived in the area in the late 1800s, and the township was officially organized in 1883. The village of Big Bay was established in 1887, and was named after the bay that it was situated on.

The area was primarily a logging and fishing community, and the economy was largely based on these industries. The logging industry was especially important, as the area was home to some of the largest stands of white pine in the Upper Peninsula.
