This article appears in Volume V17, Page 583 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MANISTEE , a city and the county-seat of Manistee county, Michigan, U.S.A., on the Manistee river (which here broadens into a small lake) near its entrance into Lake Michigan, about 114 M. W.N.W. of Grand Rapids. Pop. (189o), 12,812; (1900), 14,260 (4966 foreign-born); (1904, state
census
 ), 12,708; (191o), 12,381. It is served by the Pere Marquette, the Manistee & Grand Rapids, the Manistee & North-Eastern, and the Manistee & Luther railways, and by steamboat lines to Chicago, Milwaukee and other lake ports. The channel between Lake Manistee and Lake Michigan has been considerably improved since 1867 by the Federal government. There is a United States life-saving station at the harbour entrance. The city has a county normal school, a school for the deaf and dumb, a domestic science and
manual
  training school, a business college, and a
Carnegie
  library. Manistee is a summer resort, with good trout streams and well-known brine-baths. One mile from the city limits, on Lake Michigan, is Orchard
Beach
 , a bathing resort, connected with the city by electric railway; and about 9 m. north of Manistee is
Portage
  Lake (about 2 M.
long
  and 1 m. wide), a fishing resort and harbour of
refuge
  (with a good channel from Lake Michigan), connected with the city by steamboat and railway. Manistee has large lumber interests, is the centre of an extensive fruit-growing region, and has various manufactures, including lumber and salt' The
total
  value of the factory product in 1904 was $3,256,601. The municipality owns and operates its waterworks. Manistee (the name being taken from a former Ottawa Indian
village
 , probably on Little Traverse Bay, ,Mich.) was settled about 1849, and was chartered as a city in 1869, the charter of that year being revised in 189o.
