French missionaries exploring the Great Lakes discovered the area now known as Menominee County. At the mouth of the Menominee River was a marshy area which yielded wild rice; this is where the city of Menominee stands today. The name of the area's Indians, Menominee, means wild rice eaters.

In 1790 a French Canadian named Louis Chappieau opened a thriving fur trading operation. The first sawmill was opened in 1832 and the lumbering industry continued through the Civil War. By 1890 the area ranked second in the nation as a principal lumbering region. After 1917 agriculture began to replace lumbering .The first school of agriculture in Michigan was established in Menominee County.

Today the county is a leader in the dairy Industry and cheesemaking. The area is an industrial center, the industries include wood and metal fabrication, paperboard and furniture production.
