South Range, Michigan

South Range is a village in Adams Township, Houghton County in the U.S. state of Michigan.

It is a "cooperating community of the Keweenaw National Historical Park.

In 1906 the community tried to incorporate as the town of Stanton, but there was already a Stanton, Michigan, so they incorporated as South Range, because it was at the south end of the Michigan copper range.

Twenty-three strikers were arrested with guns ready to shoot up the area that night, and Deputy T. Driscoll was non-fatally shot in the arm during the raid.
