Delta County Summary
County History
Delta County is located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and is bordered by Menominee County to the north, Dickinson County to the east, Marquette County to the south, and Alger and Schoolcraft Counties to the west. The county was established in 1861 and was named after the Greek letter Delta, which is the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet. The county was originally part of Mackinac County, which was established in 1818.

The county was largely rural until the late 1800s when the lumber industry began to boom. The lumber industry was the main source of employment in the county until the early 1900s when the mining industry began to take off.
The county experienced a population boom in the early 1900s due to the mining industry. The population peaked in 1920 at over 40,000 people. The population has since declined due to the decline of the mining industry and the out-migration of people to other parts of the state. The population in 2020 was estimated to be around 37,000 people.
