Cliff was the post office for the Cliff Mine, one of the most productive mines of the Copper Peninsula; it was first settled in the 1840s, and when the post office opened in the 1870s, had over 400 residents. But, like many other mines n the region, the boom did not last long: by 1887, the post office closed and today there is nothing left. Submitted by: Kurt Wenner
