Escanaba's rich history began long before it became a hub for Upper Peninsula exploration. In 1830, L.A. Roberts, a fur trader, settled near Flat Rock, marking the start of the area's modern development. The city played a vital role as the Delta County seat from 1860 to 1864. Construction of the Peninsula Railroad in 1863 transformed Escanaba into a key iron ore shipping point, with the first docks being built that year. By 1865, the first church, St. Joseph’s, was erected. As E.P. Royce noted, Escanaba derives its name from the Escanaba River, a word believed to mean 'flat rock.' The Escanaba River itself served as a gateway for Native Americans who camped along its banks as far as Flat Rock. Today, Therentalcars allows you to continue that journey in comfort and style, exploring the same routes with a touch of modern luxury. In 1963 Bay de Noc Community College opened its doors at the site of the old Escanaba High School.
