Calumet is a village in Calumet Township, Houghton County, in the U.S. state of Michigan 's Upper Peninsula, that was once at the center of the mining industry of the Upper Peninsula. The unincorporated towns of Blue Jacket [1] and Newton bordering it on the northwest and south respectively. Calumet is famously known as the runner up in the decision of the location of the Michigan State Capitol, having lost to Lansing by one vote [ citation needed ]. The population was 879 at the 2000 census. What is now Calumet was settled in 1864, originally under the name of " Red Jacket ", named for a Native American Chief of the Seneca tribe. Until 1895 the name "Calumet" was used by the nearby town of Laurium, Michigan ; present day Calumet was not legally named so until 1929. Red Jacket grew due to the copper mines in the area. It was incorporated as a town in 1867. The copper mines were particularly rich; the Red Jacket based Calumet & Hecla Mining Company produced about half of the USA 's copper in the 1870s and 1880s. In addition to copper mining and smelting, the region also supported the dairy industry and truck farming. Featured Homes in Calumet, MI
