Ishpeming is a city in Marquette County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 6,686 at the 2000 census. This is down from a higher population in the 1950s and 1960s when the economically supportive iron ore mines were in full operation. Ishpeming Township is located to the northwest of the city. Ishpeming is considered the birth place of downhill ski jumping in the United States and is the home to the National Ski Hall of Fame. The name Ishpeming comes from a Native American term (Chippewa tribe) that means "on the summit" or "Higher elevation." Ishpeming is Ojibwe for "Heaven". A statue of a Native American figure has stood in the very small town square since 1884 who is referred to as "Old Ish". The movie Anatomy of a Murder was filmed in Ishpeming and surrounding areas in 1959, based on the novel by Ishpeming native John D. Voelker under the pen name Robert Traver. Ishpeming was also the birthplace of famed aviation engineer Clarence "Kelly" Johnson in 1910 and Nobel prize winning chemist Glenn T. Seaborg in 1912. Featured Homes in Ishpeming, MI
