Seney (/siːni/ SEE-nee) is an unincorporated community in Schoolcraft County in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, United States.
Soon after, logging companies moved into the area to lumber the white pine forests in the surrounding region.
[2] During this time, the town gained a reputation for being rowdy and dangerous due its boom economy and numerous saloons.
By the end of the nineteenth century, the forests of pine in the surrounding region were depleted, due to the logging and numerous fires, and the lumber companies left, shrinking the town considerably.
Leon Czolgosz, the man who assassinated President William Mckinley, lived in Seney during the boom years when he worked on the local railroad.
