 Early French Explorers named Point Au Gres from the "gritty stone" in the region. The first settlers were workers on the Saginaw-AuSable State Road which reached here about 1862. John Bradley, the first permanent settler, built the Bradley House in 1866. The Post Office opened in 1867 and Mr. Bradley as postmaster; incorporated as a city in 1905. Au Gres is located a few miles inland from Lake Huron along the Au Gres River in Arenac County. The marina situated at the river mouth and channel running a couple of miles to town provide facilities for boating and fishing enthusiasts. The city campground and park located on the river provides accommodations for campers and family picnics. A picturesque arched bridge links the city campground to the downtown area. Au Gres has several unique shops and restaurants, as well as some small manufacturing facilties. Population: 838. City Offices: 124 W. Huron Rd., Au Gres, MI 48703, (989) 876-881.
