HIGHLIGHTS OF DELTA COUNTY HISTORY

Delta County was surveyed in April, 1843. At that time it included
the present territory and all of what is now known as Menominee
County, and parts of Dickinson, Iron and Marquette Counties. The
name came from its triangular shape, like that of the Greek letter Delta.
Delta County was formally organized in 1861. The first meeting of
the Delta County Board of Supervisors was held May 28, 1862, at the
Delta Mills in the Township of Nahma. Members of the Board were
George LeGare, Chairman of Escanaba Township, A. G. Bailey, of
Nahma Township, and the Clerk, Thomas Ashton. The county seat
was located in Masonville from 1861 to 1864 when the county records
and offices were moved to Escanaba.
Nahma Township was the first township created in Delta County in
1861 and was followed by Escanaba Township, also in 1861. The
other townships and their years of creation are Baldwin Township
1873, Bark River Township 1880, Bay de Noc Township 1881,
Brampton Township 1903, Cornell Township 1905, Ensign Township
1921, Fairbanks Township 1872, Ford River Township 1875, Garden
Township 1882, Maple Ridge Township 1873, Masonville Township
1869 and Wells Township 1889.
The first Judge who sat in Circuit Court was Daniel Goodwin, a
Supreme Court Judge. This was prior to the establishment of the 25th
Judicial District. Claudius B. Grant was the first Judge of the 25th
Judicial Circuit and he was followed by John W. Stone, Richard C.
Flannigan, Frank A. Bell, Glenn W. Jackson, Carroll C. Rushton and
Bernard G. Davidson. On January 1, 1975, a new circuit was created
for only Delta County. Clair J. Hoehn was the first Judge elected for
the 47th Judicial Circuit, followed by Dean J. Shipman in 1985 and
Stephen T. Davis in 1993. Portraits of the first ten judges can be
viewed in the Circuit Courtroom.
Escanaba was incorporated as a village in 1866, and in 1867 a
lighthouse was established on Sand Point. The first light keeper, John
Terry, died of consumption (tuberculosis) in 1868. His wife Mary took
over as lightkeeper becoming the 1st woman lighthouse keeper in
Michigan, until she died in a fire at the lighthouse several years later.
Also in 1867, a charcoal iron furnace was built in Fayette by the
5
Jackson Iron Company. County vital records (births, marriages and

deaths) date back to 1867 and are housed in the County Clerks office.
Gladstone was first settled in 1877. It was originally named
Saunders Point and at that time it was the Eastern Terminal Port of the
Soo Line Railroad.
In 1882 the first Courthouse was built in Delta County. A
committee composed of Thomas J. Streeter, John D. Ross, Charles E.
Brotherton and Robert Peacock was appointed by the Board of
Supervisors to secure a building site. Block five of the original plat of
Escanaba was purchased from David Oliver at a cost of $4,000.
Contract for the building construction was awarded to H. G. Ashmun
for $20,700. The completion cost was $26,474 and the Courthouse
was turned over to the County on February 27, 1884.
Escanaba was incorporated as a City in 1883, with Gladstone being
incorporated as a Village in 1887 and as a City in 1889.
The first Delta County Jail and Sheriff's residence was a two story
brick building located on the northeast corner of the present
intersection of First Avenue South and South 5th Street, Escanaba. On
June 6, 1886, the Board of Supervisors provided for funds and
accepted bids for construction of a new jail and Sheriff's residence in
the amount of $5,000. The new building was erected at the rear of the
then new Courthouse.
At a meeting of the Board of Supervisors on October 8, 1956,
Supervisor Lawrence J. Jacobs made a report on remodeling the court
room and stated that the cost was such that something should be done
about a new County Building instead. A lay committee was appointed
from each unit of the County to study the County Government's facility
needs. Appointed were: Austin Stegath, chairman, Ralph Sogard, vice
chairman, and John H. Fawcett, F. W. Schmitt, H. E. Flath, Jerrold
Becvar, George Ventura, L. J. Jacobs, Phil Miron and Conan E. Fisher.
This lay committee reported back to the Board of Supervisors, on
April 9, 1957, with the determination that the County Building was no
longer adequate for the needs of the County and that steps should be
taken immediately to plan construction of a new County Building. The
study continued.
On October 14, 1957, a resolution was adopted that the Board of
Supervisors take preliminary steps to create an authority to undertake
6
the County Building project. At a special meeting of the Board of

Supervisors on March 21, 1958, articles of incorporation of the Delta
County Building Authority were adopted and at an adjourned session
of the same meeting on April 2, 1958, the Board of Supervisors
elected John H. Fawcett, James T. Jones, Clayton Ford, Ralph Sogard,
and H. E. Flath, as members of the Delta County Building Authority.
Three city-owned lots at the new County Building site were
deeded to the Authority by the City of Escanaba and remaining lots in
the city block were purchased by the Authority. G. Arntzen & Co.,
Architect, was retained to prepare final plans for the new Delta County
Building, and the contract for construction was awarded to Erling
Arntzen, Escanaba contractor. Ground breaking took place in
October, 1959, and the new County Building was occupied on May
18, 1961. The cost was $680,000, of which $50,000 was donated by
the late Catherine Bonifas in her will.
The Department of Corrections condemned the Delta County Jail
and the Board of Commissioners authorized the Building and Grounds
Committee to study the means of obtaining a new jail. A new, modern
jail was built on land north of the new Courthouse. This land was
donated to the County by the City of Escanaba and the Delta County
Building Authority. The cost of the Jail was $557,000 of which 50%
was furnished by the Federal Government and the balance raised by a
vote of the people for a special tax levy of two mills for one year. The
new Jail was occupied in December, 1964.
On January 7, 1969, the new five member Delta County Board of
Commissioners took control of county government operations from
the twenty-seven member Delta County Board of Supervisors. This
move reflected a change in governmental structure for counties in the
State of Michigan.
The County took over operation of the Airport from the City of
Escanaba in 1973. A $4 million, 5-year expansion program included
acquisition of more land, enlarging and resurfacing of runways, a new
building to house rescue and snow removal equipment, and
installation of a new instrument landing system. Federal Aviation
Agency grants paid 90% of the total cost. Rededication of the Delta
County Airport took place in August, 1979.
The new Delta County Service Center Building was dedicated on
7
December 7, 1975, on College Avenue. Among the first occupants

were the Delta County Department of Social Services, the
Delta-Menominee District Health Department, and the Mental Health
Clinic. Built at a cost of $1,300,000, it was paid for with non-tax
revenues, a Hill-Burton grant and federal revenue sharing monies.
The Michigan State University Extension Service moved into the
Service Center Building in 1988.
As the State encouraged more mental health treatment away from
institutions, the County Mental Health Department grew to meet those
needs. The Service Center Building was expanded in 1988 to
accommodate added staff and clientele. The 25,787 square-foot
addition cost $2.3 million. In 1993, the former Mental Health area in
the Service Center was remodeled to expand office space for the
Department of Social Services. In January of 1998, the Pathways
Authority was created from the community mental health programs
servicing Alger, Delta, Luce and Marquette counties. The goal of the
Authority is to better service the county's residents by enhancing the
effectiveness of mental health services.
Growth and redistribution of population in the County was
evidenced by the need for new administrative positions and
ordinances. A statewide change in court systems during the late
1960's abolished Escanaba's Municipal Court and the Justice of the
Peace system. The 94th Judicial District was created on January 1,
1969, with Dean Shipman serving as the County's first elected District
Judge. The office of Prosecuting Attorney became a full-time position
in June, 1975 and the position of County Controller was created in
1978. A county-wide zoning ordinance went into effect in 1976, after
three years of planning with the help of CUPPAD. The ordinance,
which includes 15 land classifications, was necessary to make growth
of the county more orderly. Thomas C. Elegeert was appointed first
Zoning Administrator.
In 1976, the County townships formed the Delta County
Township Association, with Gregg Johnson of Bark River Township
as first President. The Association was formed to seek solutions to
common township problems, such as solid waste management,
transportation, and property tax administration.
8
A new system of rural addresses was adopted by the Board of

Commissioners, primarily for easier locating of houses in
emergencies. The new system went into effect in spring, 1983.
In a cooperative venture among the cities, townships and the
County Board, the Delta Solid Waste Management Authority was
organized in 1985 to construct and manage a landfill for disposal of
Delta County wastes. The Delta Landfill, a Type II (residential/
household wastes) landfill, began operations December, 1985. The
original construction of the facility was financed by a $1.5 million
bond issue. Construction of subsequent landfill cells are financed
through the landfill tipping fees. The entire landfill is designed to
serve the County for about 35 years.
In 1991, the Landfill Authority was awarded a Clean Michigan
Community grant to implement a recycling/composting program. The
County was one of six communities, statewide, selected as "model" to
serve as a guide for community recycling efforts. The program, a
cooperative effort among the municipalities and the private waste
haulers, provides for curbside collection of recyclable materials as
well as a drop-site. The collected materials are processed at the
material recovery facility and shipped to end markets. In 1996-97,
due to changes in state regulations, the landfill needed to be
reconstructed. The Landfill Authority obtained a $4.25 million
Revenue Bond to allow for reconstruction of a new double lined
landfill for both Type II and Type III (Construction/Demolition
Waste). Construction was completed in early 1999. In 2007, the
Authority purchased an additional 300 adjacent acres, which will
extend the landfill approximately 50 years.
In March, 1986, the Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution
combining the Airport Board with the Parks and Recreation
Commission, which had previously been managed by the Road
Commission. Since that time, the Parks have been managed by the
Airport Manager and one full-time Parks Supervisor using part-time
summer employees. The Parks system includes Pioneer Trail Park
modern campground and picnic area; Sac Bay beach and picnic area;
Rapid River Falls picnic area; and a modern campground, beach, and
picnic area at Fuller Park, which was completed and opened to the
public in June, 1993. In 2007, the Board of Commissioners adopted a
9
resolution separating the Airport Board from the Parks Commission.

Delta Area Transit Authority (DATA) was established in
September 1989, under Public Transportation Authority Act 196 (Act
196), sponsored by the Delta County Board of Commissioners.
DATA is governed by a County appointed five-member board of
directors and operates fourteen ADA accessible vehicles within Delta
County. A multipurpose transit facility, funded by federal and state
grants, was dedicated in September of 1997. As of this date, Delta
Area Transit Authority has transported over 1,900,000 passengers
over 4,500,000 miles.
Delta County voters supported three services with extra millage in
recent years. Pinecrest Medical Care Facility in Powers, owned
jointly by Delta, Menominee, and Dickinson counties, was funded by
a tax bond in 1987 in order to undergo a major renovation to meet
State codes. The Delta County Sheriff's Department Road Patrol and
Delta County Senior Citizen programs were given tax boosts in 1998
and 1999, enabling the continuation of specific services whose other
funding sources had dwindled.
On May 6, 1993, the Delta County Board of Commissioners
approved a final plan for Enhanced 911 emergency dispatch service
for the entire County. The system went on line in December of 1995
as the Central Dispatch Center for Delta County. The operation is
housed at the Escanaba Public Safety Department. It is funded by a
surcharge on each phone line in the county, and prior to 2005 by
contributions from Delta County, City of Escanaba, City of Gladstone,
Delta County Township Association, Rampart Ambulance, and the
Hannahville Indian Community. In 2005, voters approved a millage
to supplement funding and the Delta County Central Dispatch
Authority was formed. It is comprised of the Delta County Sheriff,
and a representative from: the Michigan State Police; the Delta
County Fire Chiefs Association; Delta County; City of Escanaba;
City of Gladstone; and the Township Association. The Escanaba
Public Safety Director is responsible for day to day operations.
Ground was broken in May, 1994 for a second floor addition to the
existing Courthouse to alleviate overcrowding. The first floor also
was updated during this construction project to bring the building up
10
to code. The cost of the project was over $5 million and financed
through a low-cost loan from the Farmers Home Administration.
Open house for the newly renovated Courthouse was held in
December, 1995.
Beginning in 1994, the Hannahville Indian Community has
donated a portion of the 2 percentage of slot machine revenues to local
governmental units. Delta County has been the recipient of a portion
of this funding with which various purchases and equipment upgrades
have been made. A fire safety house, which educates children in
correct fire procedures, was purchased with this funding and then
donated to the Delta County Fire Chiefs Association. Additionally,
equipment upgrades have been made to the county-wide 911 system
and to the communication towers. The Sheriff Department, the
Community Action Agency, and the City of Escanaba, along with
Delta County, have all benefited from the generosity of the
Hannahville Indian Community.
In the spring of 1999, plans were completed for the addition of a
41-bed modular minimum security addition to the Delta County Jail.
The cost of the addition was $934,000 with $160,000 being funded by
the State Department of Corrections. This addition, which was
completed in late 1999, helped alleviate the constant overcrowding of
the present correctional facility.
The Delta County Board, in December of 1997, commissioned a
bronze sculpture of Delta County to be constructed by T. D. Vinette
and mounted on the south wall of the Courthouse. The sculpture is
approximately 10 feet x 11 feet, constructed of bronze sheet and
chased to effect a bas relief sculpture depicting river valleys, lakes,
water front cliffs, and the townships and cities created by the joints at
the boundaries of these areas. Mr. Vinette became ill in 1999 and was
aided in the completion of the sculpture by Ritch Branstrom of
Stonington. The sculpture was mounted on November 1, 2000.
The Delta County Renaissance Zone was established on May 2,
2001at the Delta County Airport. This created a tax incentive for new
businesses to relocate to Delta County to increase employment in the
area. Grants provided infrastructure such as roads, utilities, and cable
for the Renaissance Zone which were completed in December of 2004
11
The Delta County Airport Terminal Renovation Project was

completed in December of 2004. The renovations included increased
security as required by the FAA, doubled the square footage, and
upgraded the facilities for the airlines and general aviation as well as
for the passengers. Ninety percent of the cost of the project was
provided through grants.
On August 2, 2005, the voters in Delta County approved up to a
0.85 millage to fund a 911 Central Dispatch. The Delta County Board
approved the formation of the Delta County Central Dispatch
Authority (pg 22) to oversee the millage funds. In 2009, the millage
was renewed at up to 0.5 mills and is currently running at 0.35 mills.
The Authority made improvements to the communications towers
in 2009 and upgraded the dispatch station in 2010 at Escanaba Public
Safety. Additionally one extra dispatch station was added for training
and use during multiple emergencies. The Dispatch Authority
continues to perform upgrades to the dispatch communication system.
The Brownfield Redevelopment Authority was established in
2008 as a 7 member board with an EPA Brownfield Assessment
Grant, with Peter Van Steen as the Grant Project Manager. The
program will assist with the redevelopment and reuse of commercial
and industrial properties in Delta County.
On February 3, 2009, Governor Granholm announced that the
State of Michigan would no longer fund the State Fairs in Escanaba
and Detroit. Local citizens took immediate action to prevent the end
of the U.P. State Fair leading to an Interlocal Agreement establishing a
U.P. State Fair Authority with the 15 U.P. counties and the
Hannahville Indian Community. On August 21, 2009 the Governor
signed the States portion of the U.P. Fairgrounds property over to
Delta County which then signed a 25 year lease agreement with the
Fair Authority. The Hannahville Indian Community provided a
$30,000 grant for start up money. The U.P. State Fair Authority in
cooperation with the Delta County Commerce Center, the
management agent, successfully and seamlessly operated the 2010
U.P. State Fair and will continue to provide a venue to showcase,
educate, and promote Michigans agriculture long into the future.
