The county was named for the Menominee tribe who lived in the vicinity. The word means "rice men" or "rice gatherers." By 1790 a French Canadian named Louis Chappieau opened a thriving fur trading operation. The Menominee river flowed through vast pine forests and the first sawmill was opened in 1832. By 1890 the area ranked second in the nation as a principal lumbering region. Agriculture began to replace lumbering by 1917.
