History
Raco, Michigan, originated as a 1887 sawmill settlement named after the Richardson and Avery Company. It is best known for hosting Camp Raco (1933), the U.P.'s first Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) site, which later became a World War II German POW camp. Today, it is known for the decommissioned Raco Army Airfield, now a cold-weather testing site.
