description: In 1854, the first permanent settlement was established when several Mormon (Strangite) families (George Preston, Galen Cole, Adam See, and Daniel Alvord) arrived from the Beaver Islands. Charlevoix is the site of the Battle of Pine River, a famous gun battle between Charlevoix fishermen and Mormons, who had built a settlement on Beaver Island. The battle is the only one on the Great Lakes than involved both land and sea. After this battle, the Mormons left Beaver Island, and a number of settlers, who had left the area due to the hostilities, returned to Pine River.?
