📜 Grayling’s History
Founded in the 1870s, Grayling grew as a lumber town thanks to the dense pine forests surrounding the Au Sable River. Named after the grayling fish that once populated the river, the town became a hub for logging and sawmills. As the timber industry declined, Grayling reinvented itself as a destination for outdoor recreation. Home to Camp Grayling, the largest National Guard training facility in the U.S., the city blends natural beauty with military tradition. Today, Grayling remains a gateway to Northern Michigan adventure and rich heritage.
