L'Anse, Michigan
L'Anse (/lɑːns/ LAHNSS) is a village in and the county seat of Baraga County, Michigan in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 1,874 at the 2020 census. The village is located within L'Anse Township in the Upper Peninsula and partially inside the L'Anse Indian Reservation.
This area was long occupied by people of the Lake Superior Band of Ojibwa (Chippewa), who called it "Gichi-wiikwedong". Much later, French colonists had established a fur trading post here as a part of New France and a Jesuit mission, naming it L'Anse. In French, L'Anse translates as "the cove" or "the bay", a reference to its location in on the southern portion of L'Anse Bay, a portion of the larger Keweenaw Bay, at the base of the Keweenaw Peninsula. The modern-day village grew around this French trading post.
Following treaties with the United States in the 19th century, the Ojibwa/Chippewa ceded extensive amounts of land in Michigan. The L'Anse Indian Reservation was established by the U.S. here as the largest and the oldest in Michigan.
In 1896, the village was completely burned to the ground by a deadly fire which left many homeless.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 2.53 square miles (6.55 km2), all of it land.
As of the census of 2020, the population was 1,874. The population density was 736.1 inhabitants per square mile (284.2/km2). There were 980 housing units at an average density of 384.9 per square mile (148.6/km2).

Ethnically, the population was 0.8% Hispanic or Latino of any race.
