History

Gwinn, Michigan, was founded in 1907 by the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company (CCI) as a "model town" to house miners and their families, designed by landscape architect Warren H. Manning. Named for the mother of CCI president William Gwinn Mather, Gwinn became a thriving mining community before the K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base was developed nearby in 1956, serving as a military and civil facility.
