Eagle Harbor is an unincorporated community and census-designated place located on the north side of the Keweenaw Peninsula within Eagle Harbor Township, located on the tip of Michigan's farthest county, Keweenaw County, in the U.S. State of Michigan.

This hamlet was especially popular with the sailors in days past, as it had a good steamboat landing and is about equally distant from Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan, and Duluth, Minnesota.

With a natural opening, its entrance is on the west side of a large rock that appears above the surface of the water about forty rods from the east cape of the harbor.

In the year of 1844, Taylor returned to Eagle Harbor and constructed a tavern out of logs, which later burned down on an unspecified date.

[3] On January 17, 1852, the new wood-frame dining room and kitchen were saved from the devouring flames by strenuous efforts and the favorable turn of the wind.

[3][6] The area was first occupied by the Eagle Harbor Mining Company, who landed a party of men here during the summer of 1845, a man by the name of Sprague being its agent.

He completed the trip to L'Anse on foot and after fifteen months left the Mission, as he did not particularly enjoy that position.

It was during this time that he lost his wife and one child on the wrecked steamer PS Lady Elgin, on September 8, 1860.

By 1846, Hiram Joy was tending to a log constructed boardinghouse in Eagle Harbor, which was purchased by Charles Kuntz in 1849.

[3][6] In 1983, the Holy Protection Monastery of the Society of St. John belonging to the Ukrainian Metropoly was formed in Eagle Harbor and is known for its Poorrock Abbey™ preserves.

[7][8][9][10] The community of Eagle Harbor was listed as a newly organized census-designated place for the 2010 census, meaning it now has officially defined boundaries and population statistics for the first time.
