Sault Ste. Marie ( pronounced [ su se nt m ™ ri ] ) is the oldest city in the state of Michigan. It is located at the eastern edge of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, on the Canadian border, separated from its twin city of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario - the oldest city in the Canadian province of Ontario - by the St. Mary's River. As of a 2005 U.S. Census estimate, the city's population was 14,318. It is the county seat of Chippewa County 6. The city is the site of the Soo Locks, which lets ships travel between Lake Superior and the lower Great Lakes. Although not as busy as in past years, a considerable amount of domestic and foreign commerce passes through the locks. People come from around the world to view close up the ships passing through the locks. The largest ships are 1,000 feet long by 105 feet wide. Those large ships are domestic carriers (called lakers ) that are too large to transit the Welland Canal around Niagara Falls. Therefore, they are land-locked. Foreign ships (termed salties ) are smaller. Featured Homes in Sault Sainte Marie, MI
