Algonac is a historic city in southeastern Michigan located directly on the banks of the St. Clair River. The city’s identity and economy have long been shaped by its proximity to the river, which supports boating, fishing, and commercial shipping. As the birthplace of Chris-Craft boats, Algonac played a key role in the development of American maritime craftsmanship, with the St. Clair River serving as both a testing ground and transportation route. This deep connection between town and waterway continues today, as the river remains central to Algonac's recreational appeal and cultural heritage.
