Marquette National Forest was established by the U.S. Forest Service in Chippewa County, Michigan on February 10, 1909, with 30,603 acres (123.8 km2). On July 1, 1915, the entire forest was transferred to Michigan National Forest and the name was discontinued. On February 12, 1931, Marquette was re-established in Chippewa and Mackinac counties with 274,910 acres (1,112.5 km2), changing its name back from Michigan. On February 9, 1962, the entire forest was transferred to Hiawatha National Forest and the name was re-discontinued. What was Marquette National Forest currently comprises the East Unit of Hiawatha National Forest.[1][2]
