Petoskey, Tourist city in Northwest Michigan, United States.
Petoskey sits on Little Traverse Bay at 202 meters elevation, featuring a downtown district with local shops and restaurants along Lake Street.
The Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad arrival in 1876 transformed Petoskey from a small settlement into a commercial center, leading to city incorporation in 1895.
The name derives from the Odawa word meaning 'where the light shines through the clouds', reflecting the deep Native American heritage of the region.
The Pellston Regional Airport, located 20 minutes north, provides regular flights to Detroit Metropolitan Airport through Delta Connection service.
The waters and beaches of Little Traverse Bay contain fossilized coral Petoskey stones, which Michigan designated as the official state stone.
