Jean Nicolet was the first European to discover Mackinaw Island in 1634. The Native Americans named the island Michilimackinaw, meaning "Land of the Great Turtle", due to its shape. For over 150 years, French fur traders traded beaver, muskrat, otter, and fox pelts trapped by Native Americans on the island. Mackinaw Island is located in Lake Huron between Michigan's upper and lower peninsulas and has an area of 3.8 square miles.
