abstract
  • Houghton is a city of about 7000 people in the western part of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
  • Houghton is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan's Upper Peninsula and largest city in the Copper Country on the Keweenaw Peninsula. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 7,010. It is the county seat of Houghton County6. It has been listed as one of the 100 Best Small Towns in America.[1] Houghton is sometimes confused with, or thought to be close to, Houghton Lake; the latter is actually located in the state's Lower Peninsula. Due to its location in the northwestern portion of the Upper Peninsula, Houghton is isolated from the state's most populous areas. It is farther to travel from Houghton to Detroit than it is from Detroit to Washington, DC, or Louisville, Kentucky. Houghton was named after Houghton County, which was in turn named after Douglass Houghton.[2]
