Here are some key facts about Zug Island:

Geography: Zug Island is situated where the mouth of the River Rouge spills into the Detroit River1.
Area: It covers an area of approximately 0.93 square miles (2.4 km²).

History: The island was originally a marsh-filled peninsula. Samuel Zug, a businessman and one of the founders of the Republican Party, bought the land in 1876 but later sold it due to its dampness.

Industrialization: In the early 1900s, Zug Island became an industrial hub, particularly for the steel industry. The Detroit Iron Works brought ironmaking to the island in 19011.

Environmental Impact: The heavy industrialization has led to significant pollution and environmental degradation, affecting the local population and wildlife.

The Windsor Hum: Industrial activities on Zug Island have been identified as a likely source of the mysterious low-frequency noise known as the Windsor Hum, which has disturbed residents of Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

Zug Island is a private industrial site and is not accessible to the public. Its industrial activities have played a significant role in the region’s economy but also in environmental concerns.

EES Coke Battery on the island is one of Michigan's largest emitters of sulfur dioxide. The facility produces a byproduct of coal used to make steel called coke. This process creates sulfur dioxide and is released into the air.

Zug Island has been historically known for its heavy industrial activities, particularly related to the steel industry. Here are some of the industries that have been present on Zug Island:

Steel Production: The island has been home to several blast furnaces for steel production since the early 20th century.

Iron Works: The Detroit Iron Works brought ironmaking to Zug Island in 19012.

Coking Plants: Industries related to coking, a process in coal production, have operated on the island.

Tar and Paper Manufacturing: There have been facilities for tar and paper manufacturing in the area.

These industries have contributed to the economic development of the region but have also been associated with environmental concerns due to pollution and degradation.
