Welcome Message
from the

Lee Brown
Welcome to the City of Sault Ste. Marie’s Downtown Development Authority’s Website. This website was recently established to help visitors discover the assets that Downtown Sault Ste. Marie (often referred to as just “Sault”) has to offer. Sault Ste. Marie is the oldest city in Michigan, and the third oldest city West of Allegheny Mountains. The city was established in 1668. But, the area was inhabited for many years prior by the Ojibway Indians, and the French Voyagers who were the first Europeans to set foot on the banks of the St. Mary’s River. The Sault is full of a rich cultural and historic past and visitors and historical researchers could spend many years researching all of the Sault’s past history.
The Downtown is a thriving community full of independent business owners who provide excellent shopping and dining experiences, and pride themselves on customer service. A destination for entrepreneurs and tourists, downtown Sault is the commercial hub for the Eastern Upper Peninsula. The downtown has experienced significant growth over the last decade, and it now offers more than 130 retail businesses to satisfy all your shopping needs.
This website is designed to offer immediate information to all of its visitors. The downtown event’s calendar will keep visitors updated as to what is happening in historic downtown Sault. The site also lists all the businesses in the downtown, and it provides needed contact information to help you stay in touch with your favorite store. This site will also assist with the economic development by displaying all the available rental and purchase properties in the downtown. And, it will host pictures of the downtown from our historical past to present day.
On behalf of the Downtown
Development Authority and Downtown Business Owners, thank you for visiting our
site and best wishes with your future travels.
Your friend,
Lee Brown
