Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LAURIUM , a
village
  of Houghton county, Michigan, U.S.A., near the centre of Keweenaw peninsula, the northern extremity of the state. Pop. (18go) 1159; (1900) 5643, of whom 2286 were foreign-born; (1904) 7653; (1910) 8537. It is served by
the
Mineral
  Range and the Mohawk and Copper Range railways. It is in one of the most productive copper districts in the United States, and copper
mining
  is its
chief
  industry. Immediately W. of Laurium is the famous
Calumet
  and Hecla mine. The
village
  was formerly named
Calumet
 , and was incorporated under that name in 1889, but in 1895 its name was changed by the legislature to Laurium, in allusion to the
mineral
  wealth of Laurium in
Greece
 . The name Calumet is now applied to the
post
 
office
  in the village of Red Jacket (incorporated 1875; pop. 1900, 4668; 1904, 3784; 1910, 4211), W. of the Calumet and Hecla mine; and Laurium, the
mining
  property and Red Jacket are all in the township of Calumet (pop. 1904, state
