Marquette County · Money and taxes
Is there a city income tax in Marquette?
Neither Marquette nor any other city in Marquette County charges a city income tax -- and neither does anywhere else in the Upper Peninsula. The nearest one is Grayling, well over a hundred miles away.

Ishpeming, the birthplace of American skiing
The iron-range city of Ishpeming is where organized skiing in the United States was born -- the national ski association was founded here in 1905, and the U.S. National Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame still calls the town home.

Marquette's ore docks, where the iron range meets the lake
Marquette grew up as the port that shipped the Upper Peninsula's iron to the world. Its great ore docks still define the waterfront -- one a beloved retired landmark, the other still loading freighters with iron pellets today.

Negaunee and the birth of Michigan's iron industry
Negaunee is where it all started -- iron ore found in the roots of a fallen tree in 1844, the first mine, the first forge. The Michigan Iron Industry Museum sits on the very spot where Michigan iron was first made.

Presque Isle Park and Sugarloaf, Marquette's outdoor gems
Two of Marquette's best-loved spots sit minutes from downtown: Presque Isle Park, a forested headland ringed by ancient black cliffs on Lake Superior, and Sugarloaf Mountain, a short climb to a sweeping view of the whole shoreline.

The iron range that built America (and still ships)
Marquette County's iron range fed the nation's furnaces for 175 years — Negaunee and Ishpeming mined it, and the ore dock at Marquette still loads freighters today.
