Local History
This village on the shore of Big Bay de Noc began as a station on the Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Railroad, and was first called New Minneapolis. It was given a post office as Isabella on December 20, 1887, with Joseph A. Henderson as its first postmaster, the office operating until May 31, 1941. Named in memory of the little daughter of Peter Mallman, pioneer, logger and kiln operator in the area.
