Port Sanilac is a town in Sanilac County, Michigan that began as a lumberjack settlement named Bark Shanty sometime prior to the mid-1840s. By 1857, the town had a sawmill, a schoolhouse, a general store, and a post office, and it was renamed at this time to its present name. Local lore suggests that it was named after a local Wyandotte Indian chief. It has a 20-room Victorian mansion built in 1872 and owned by a Dr. Joseph Loop; the mansion is now home to the Sanilac County Museum. A kerosene burning lighthouse was built in 1886 and was wired for electricity in 1924 (it still stands today). There is a designated shipwreck preserve, the Sanilac Shores Underwater Preserve, that is a popular dive spot for scuba divers.
