A Quiet Place to Visit, Play, and Live.
Located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Mastodon Township
can be found in the heart of beautiful Iron County.
Mastodon Township is located in Iron County, in the southwest portion
of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We are the third largest Township in the
County, consisting of 83,789.80 acres. Within the township is the
Village of Alpha with a total land area of just under one square mile.
The total population of Mastodon Township including Alpha is 668
residents. Our economy is mainly based on small businesses, logging
and year round tourism. We have numerous lakes, large wooded areas,
and an abundance of wildlife including deer, bear, wolves and water
fowl. With four very distinct seasons, there are a number of activities
available to attract tourism such as: fishing, swimming, camping,
hunting, skiing, and snowmobiling.
In 1885, the boundaries for Iron County and Mastodon Township
were established. When searching the area for deposits of iron ore,
some huge prehistoric animal bones were discovered, and on this
basis, Mastodon Township received it's name. By 1893, the Delphic
Mine had shipped some 33,770 tons of ore, and by 1894, the
Mastodon Mine had shipped 425,708 tons of iron ore. Mining
became the major source of income for the area, and as jobs
became more available, the population continued to grow. In 1914,
the Village of Alpha became incorporated and was a thriving
community, until the last mine closed in 1958.
Mastodon Township was so named from the fact mastodon bones
were discovered when sinking a mine shaft.
Mastodon Township is home to some wonderful
businesses!
Mastodon Township is a beautiful, inexpensive place to
run a successful business! We welcome any new
business to our quiet piece of paradise!
