Local History

When the Alger, Smith Company began logging in the vicinity about 1882, Seney came into being.  It was named for George R. Seney, of New York, a director of the first railroad from St. Ignace to Marquette.  John F. Chisholm became its first postmaster on December 28, 1882.  

"The most notorious town in the lumbering era . . . it was a rough place" (Martin; Dunbar; P.O. Archives).
