History

Wetmore, Michigan, is a small, unincorporated community in Alger County, historically rooted in the lumber industry. Founded in the late 1800s as a logging town named after lumberman John Wetmore, it saw rapid growth during the logging boom. However, as the timber supply dwindled, so did the population. Today, Wetmore is a quiet community primarily focused on tourism, with its proximity to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore making it a popular base for exploring the Upper Peninsula's natural attractions. The broader area, including Wetmore, has a rich history of Native American presence and Jesuit missionary activity. Father Marquette, for example, was buried in the area after his death in the 1670s. The logging history of the region, including the work of surveyors like William Burt, is also a significant part of the area's past.
