Discover Menominee, Michigan: A Border Town Full of Character
Located at the southernmost edge of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Menominee is a city with charm, history, and a unique cross-state connection. With a population of 8,488 as of the 2020 census, Menominee ranks as the fourth-largest city in the U.P., following Marquette, Sault Ste. Marie, and Escanaba. It also serves as the county seat of Menominee County and is part of the Marinette, WI–MI micropolitan area.

Menominee shares a close bond with its neighbor across the state line, Marinette, Wisconsin. Often called “twin cities,” Menominee and Marinette share more than just a border—they have a hospital, a newspaper, a chamber of commerce, and a community foundation in common. Many local organizations work together to benefit both cities as a unified region, despite being in separate states.
The city itself spans 5.48 square miles along the shores of Lake Michigan, with 0.33 square miles of that area covered by water. It’s known for being just north of the 45th parallel, and Menominee proudly features a cairn marking the halfway point between the North Pole and the Equator—one of only six such markers in Michigan.

Nature adds another unique touch to Menominee: in 2010, the area made headlines with the sudden formation of the Menominee Crack, a rare and still mysterious geological phenomenon that drew scientists and curiosity seekers alike.
Like much of the Upper Peninsula, Menominee experiences a humid continental climate (“Dfb” on the Köppen map), with hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters—a true taste of all four seasons.
Whether you’re visiting for its natural wonders, its historical quirks, or its friendly small-town vibe, Menominee stands out as a welcoming gateway to the U.P., with one foot in Michigan and the other reaching across the Menominee River into Wisconsin.
