History

The two cities have high schools with a healthy rivalry. The neighboring town of Ishpeming, whose name means "on the summit," often interpret 'Ishpeming' as 'Heaven' and tell the unknowing that 'Negaunee' means 'Hell'. This bedroom community continues to thrive. Residents can now tour Old Towne to visit the sites of historial family homes [markers have been erected] and mining artifacts can be observed. The city is home to the Michigan Iron Industry Museum.
