Did the Michigan Ghost Town of Palatka Ever Exist?
“Does it still exist?”
“Did it get re-named?”
All legitimate questions that I will attempt to answer the best I can.
The U.P. town of Palatka has been called a 100% ghost town. But is it? Well, there is absolutely nothing there: no people, no businesses, no roads, no homes. Was it ever even there? The story of Palatka can be extremely confusing, so I ll try to explain this as simply as possible and the best I can.
In the 1900 s, this particular area in Iron County opened five mines: the Baltic (1900), Caspian (1903), Young (1904), Fogarty (1907), and Berkshire (1908). With each new mine came new miners and their families – but the problem was, there was no housing. So the various mining companies began constructing homes for their employees, and afterward, a business section popped up to serve this new community.
