Ludington is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is the county seat and the largest city in Mason County. As of the 2020 census, the city population was 7,655.
The city is located at the mouth of the Pere Marquette River at Lake Michigan. Nearby are Ludington State Park (which includes the Big Sable Point Light), Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness, and Manistee National Forest. Ludington is also the home port of the SS Badger, a vehicle and passenger ferry with daily service in the summer across Lake Michigan to Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
The town was originally named Pere Marquette, then later named after the industrialist James Ludington, whose logging operations the village developed around. Ludington was incorporated as a City in 1873, the same year that the County seat was moved from the Village of Lincoln to the City of Ludington. The area boom in the late 19th century was due to these sawmills and also the discovery of salt deposits.
By 1892, 162 million board feet (382,000 cubic metres or 13,500,000 cubic feet) of lumber and 52 million wood shingles had been produced by the Ludington sawmills. With all of this commerce occurring, Ludington became a major Great Lakes shipping port.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 3.70 square miles, of which 3.37 square miles is land and 0.33 square miles (8.92%) is water. The Ludington North Breakwall Light is at the end of the north pierhead on Lake Michigan. Ludington is part of Northern Michigan.
Lake Michigan, Lincoln Lake, Hamlin Lake, Sterns Lake and Hackert Lake are all bodies of water you can find in and around Ludington Michigan.
