Since its incorporation, Michigan City has appreciated its lakefront assets. The point at which Trail Creek collides with Lake Michigan has always been a source of pride for the city s residents. However, it was not until 1959 that an agency was created to protect and maintain the city s interests at the lakefront. Michigan City Marinas chronicles the agency s efforts to realize the potential of one of Lake Michigan s most magnificent ports. The people, events, and other government agencies that helped shape the future of the marinas are explored along with the Michigan City Port Authority s tenacious oversight of the resources and facilities that are still in use today.
