Location overview
Sanilac County lies in Michigan’s Thumb region, with a long eastern shoreline on Lake Huron. Sandusky, the county seat, is inland, while communities such as Croswell and Deckerville are spread across the county. Farming shapes much of its inland landscape, contrasting with the lakeshore. Organized in 1848, the county grew after an earlier period of timber cutting.
