Zeba (Ojibwe: Ziibiins) is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Baraga County in the U.S. state of Michigan.
The community was named Zeba (which means river in the Ojibwa language) because of a small stream that runs southeast of it.
Zeba was initially founded in 1831 when Father Frederic Baraga, a Catholic priest, arrived and established the area's first mission along the southern shore of Lake Superior's Keweenaw Bay near present-day L'Anse.
[3] On the bluff overlooking the lake, the Gothic-style Zeba Indian United Methodist church, originally known as the Kewawenon Mission and constructed in 1888, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
