It is farther to drive from Houghton to Detroit than it is from Detroit to or Atlanta, Georgia or Washington, DC. It takes several hours less to travel to Chicago, Milwaukee, or Minneapolis from Houghton than it does to travel to Detroit. Houghton was named after Houghton County, which was named after Douglass Houghton. The area lends itself to a wide variety of outdoor sports, both winter and summer.
