Settlement of the area dates from 1847. John P. Sedam was its pioneer, general merchant. David A. Melendy became its first postmaster on June 1, 1864. Named for James Ludington who had large timber investments in the region. Its plat was recorded in 1867. Incorporated as a city in 1873. Charles Mears and Eber B. Ward were leaders in its early development. One of Michigan's featured Beachtowns, Ludington and Mason County are home to breathtaking natural beauty that includes two historic lighthouses, miles of pristine Lake Michigan beaches and rolling sand dunes, the Pere Marquette National Scenic River, the popular Ludington State Park, the Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness, Manistee National Forest area, the largest charter fishing fleet on the great lakes, and the Lake Michigan carferry service which carries 620 passengers and 180 vehicles between Ludington and Manitowoc, Wisconsin. We are located along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan on the intersection of US 31 and US 10. A few of our local industries include: Ludington Components/Haworth, Metalworks (office furniture), Harsco Track Technologies (railroad maintenance equipment), Great Lakes Castings Corporation (small gray iron castings), Mason County Fruit Packers Co-op Inc, Whitehall Industries (aluminum extrusions) and House of Flavors (manufacturer of ice cream products).
