Sault Ste Marie
The county seat of Chippewa County, Michigan, on the
St. Mary's River. In 1641 the Jesuit fathers Raymbault and Jogues
founded a mission on its site, and in 1662 Marquette established the
first permanent settlement there. On the opposite side of the river is
its Canadian namesake, a port of entry of the Algoma district, Ontario.
