Houghton is located on the Keewenaw Peninsula, which jets out into Lake Superior and is known for its massive deposits of high-grade copper. The Hancock Houghton Canal-also called the Keewenaw Waterway-is a convenient shortcut to and from Duluth, Minnesota. In its heyday, this canal was a hive of commerce as freighters arrived with supplies and departed full of copper.
