Mullett Township (Township of Mullett)
Mullett Township is a civil township of Cheboygan County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 1,312 at the 2010 census. Both the township and Mullett Lake are named for John Mullett, who surveyed much of the area between 1840 and 1843.
When Mullett Township was created by the Michigan Legislature, it was spelled Mullet—a spelling that was widely used in early maps and documents.
Topinabee is an unincorporated community about 13 mi southwest of Cheboygan on the western shore of Mullett Lake at 45.48389°N, -84.59528°W. Founded in 1881 and 1882, the hamlet was named after the Potawatomi chief Topenebee, who primarily resided in southwestern Michigan.
In addition to the United States Postal Service office, there are two non-denominational Protestant churches, a public library, bar and grille, breakfast cafe, gas station-market, and a rustic furniture store. Mullett Township oversees two public beaches and a public boat-launch on Mullett Lake, as well as a park with baseball field, tennis and basketball court, and playground equipment.
Other named locations in the township include (from south to north) Giauque Beach, Royal Oak Beach, Veery Point, Long Point, Birchwood, and Silver Beach, all on the western shore of Mullett Lake.

Indigenous peoples have inhabited the Americas for thousands of years. Beginning in 1607, British colonization led to the establishment of the Thirteen Colonies in what is now the Eastern United States. They quarreled with the British Crown over taxation and political representation, leading to the American Revolution and proceeding Revolutionary War. The United States declared independence on July 4, 1776, becoming the first nation-state founded on Enlightenment principles of unalienable natural rights, consent of the governed, and liberal democracy. The country began expanding across North America, spanning the continent by 1848. Sectional division surrounding slavery in the Southern United States led to the secession of the Confederate States of America, which fought the remaining states of the Union during the American Civil War (1861–1865). With the Union's victory and preservation, slavery was abolished nationally by the Thirteenth Amendment.
