History

Formed in 1875 from Houghton County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Baraga County was created from Houghton County on February 19, 1875, and was assigned jurisdiction over Lake Superior concurrent with the counties contiguous thereto. The county was named after Frederic Baraga.
