Kalkaska
Founded in 1865 by pioneers from the southern states, Kalkaska sits atop a waterfall overlooking a cliff surrounded by cherry blossoms, and on a clear day, Lake Michigan and Chicago can be seen to the Southwest. In 1865, only a few months after the town’s founding, The Chronicle issued its first paper, and for over 100 years now has been Kalkaska residents’ #1 news source.
Aside from being the home of The Chronicle, Kalkaska prides itself in a strong hunting and wildlife based economy, being one of the few localities in the continental U.S. which resisted the Bald Eagle Protection Act. Kalkaska residents have had a long tradition of hunting the beast and fought for their rights to do so in court, and lost. District Kalkaska courts quickly overturned the federal government’s decision, however, allowing for the commercial and recreational hunting of bald eagles to take place each year. Kalkaska children sometimes kill their first baldie by their 7th birthday, as is tradition, and the local high school’s mascot is Eduardo the Egret.
