Bates has a story worth telling. The record at arcgis.com puts it this way: "In 1918 the Iron County Board of Supervisors approved the recommendation of the road commission, through its engineer-manager, Herbert F. Larson, to purchase this 320-acre tract of roadside virgin timber and to dedicate it as a forest preserve. The following year Iron County established Michigan’s first roadside park and picnic tables."
The Census Bureau counted 925 people here in 2020.
