Ishpeming (/ˈɪʃpəmɪŋ/ ISH-pə-ming) is a city in Marquette County, Michigan, United States. Located in the Upper Peninsula, the population was 6,140 at the 2020 census,[2] less than it was in the 1950s and 1960s when the Iron ore mines employed more workers. A statue of a Native American figure, erected in 1884 in the small town square, is referred to as "Old Ish".
Ishpeming Township is located to the northwest of the city but is administratively autonomous. Ishpeming is considered the birthplace of organized skiing in the United States and is the home to the National Ski Hall of Fame. The city was also prominently featured in the 2010 documentary Catfish.
The name "Ishpeming" comes from Ojibwa ishpiming 'above, in the air, on high'.[5]
