Lakeside Cemetery Records

(New) - Electric Park

Electric Park was a park area located about 5 miles north of Hancock, on the Hancock to Calumet streetcar track, and was a popular recreation area between 1902 and 1932, and later. It was presumably named that due to the energy source for the streetcars that brought people to it.

The Houghton County Traction Company began in 1900, and had it�s first line, between Hancock and Calumet, operating in 1901, later expanding to other areas. The �home� base for operations was the �Car Barn� and offices, located on Ethel Avenue in Hancock. This building is still in existence, owned and used today by the Thornton Construction Co./Superior Sand and Gravel Corp.
