Iron County at a Glance: Established in 1885 and named for its iron ore deposits, Iron County sits in Michigan’s western Upper Peninsula surrounded by the Ottawa National Forest. Crystal Falls serves as the county seat, and the county also includes the communities of Iron River and Caspian. Like many western U.P. counties, Iron County experienced significant population decline following the collapse of its iron mining industry in the mid-20th century, but has adapted through outdoor recreation, forestry, and a small but dedicated resident population of approximately 11,000 people.
