  • Sault Ste. Marie, often shortened to The Soo, is a city in and the county seat of Chippewa County in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is at the eastern edge of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, on the Canadian border, separated from its twin city of Sault Ste. Marie Ontario by the St. Marys River. The population was 16,542 at the 2000 census, making it the second largest City in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Founded as a mission in 1668 by Father Jacques Marquette, Sault Ste. Marie is the oldest European settlement in the Midwest.. A fur trading settlement soon grew up at this crossroads on both banks of the river, making the area the center of the 3,000-mile fur trade route extending west from Montreal to the Sault, then to the country north of Lake Superior. The town was split into two in 1797 (when the Upper Peninsula was transferred from the province of Upper Canada to the United States). Sault Sainte Marie is Old French for "falls of St. Mary's" (Sault de Sainte Marie), a reference to the rapids in the Saint Marys River, which joins Lake Superior to Lake Huron. (The spelling Sault-Sainte-Marie is more usual in French, but the name is written without hyphens in English). Both cities and the vicinity as a whole are often referred to as the Sault or the Soo. The two cities are joined by the International Bridge, which connects Interstate Highway 75 in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan and Huron Street in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Shipping traffic in the Great Lakes system bypasses Saint Marys Rapids via the American Soo Locks, the world's busiest canal in terms of tonnage passing through it, while smaller recreational and tour boats use the Canadian Sault Ste. Marie Canal. The city's downtown sits on an island, with the locks to the north, and the Saulte Ste. Marie Power Canal to the south. The city is the site of the Soo Locks, which lets ships travel between Lake Superior and the lower Great Lakes. People come from around the world to view up close the ships passing through the locks. The largest ships are 1,000 feet (300 m) long by 105 feet (32 m) wide. These are domestic carriers that are too large to transit the Welland Canal around Niagara Falls and thus are land-locked. Foreign ships (termed salties) are smaller. Sault Ste. Marie is also the home of the International 500 Snowmobile Race (commonly called the I-500), which takes place annually and draws participants and spectators from all over the U.S. and Canada. The race, which was inspired by the Indianapolis 500, originated in 1969 and has been growing ever since.

  • スーセントマリー（英: Sault Ste. Marie、仏: Sault-Sainte-Marie）は、アメリカ合衆国ミシガン州アッパー半島東端に位置する都市。同州チペワ郡の郡庁所在地である。人口は16,542人（2000年国勢調査）で、アッパー半島の都市としてはマーケットに次ぐ規模である。ミシガン州では最古、アパラチア山脈以西で3番目に長い歴史を持つ都市で、その歴史は1668年にさかのぼることができる。 スーセントマリーはカナダとの国境になっているセントメアリーズ川の河岸に形成されている。対岸のオンタリオ州スーセントマリーとはスーセントマリー国際橋で結ばれている。ミシガン州側の南詰は州間高速道路I-75の北の終点になっている。 スーセントマリーの名を知らしめているスーセントマリー運河はセントメアリーズ川の両側に掘られている。この運河はスペリオル湖とヒューロン湖の高低差に起因するセントメアリーズ川の急流を克服して船舶を通すために閘門を用いている閘門式運河である。同様の形式の運河にはパナマ運河などの例がある。国内外の大型の船舶が通るのは主に4つの閘門を有するミシガン州側のほうである。同運河を通る船舶には長さ300m、幅30mを超えるものもある。ただし、これはスペリオル湖（主にダルース港）とヒューロン湖・ミシガン湖・エリー湖を行き来する船舶に限っての話である。ナイアガラ滝を回避するウェランド運河を通行するにあたっての制限があるため、アメリカ合衆国外やオンタリオ湖以東からの船舶はそこまで大きくない。また、スーセントマリー運河はアッパー半島の観光名所のひとつでもある。これに夏の涼しさと周辺の自然環境、近隣のカジノを活かした観光業がスーセントマリーの主産業である。
  • Sault Ste. Marie is de oudste stad van de Amerikaanse staat Michigan. Door inwoners wordt het stadje vaak The Sault of The Soo genoemd. De stad ligt aan de Amerikaans-Canadese grensrivier St. Marys River, die tussen het Bovenmeer en Huronmeer stroomt. Aan de overkant van de rivier ligt de (stukken grotere) Canadese tweelingstad Sault Ste. Marie (Ontario). De twee steden zijn verbonden door de Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge over de St. Marys River. Sault Ste. Marie is de hoofdstad van Chippewa County. De stad heeft 14.318 inwoners (volkstelling 2005) op een oppervlakte van 52,3 km². De stad werd in 1688 gesticht als missiepost door de Franse jezuïeten Jacques Marquette en Claude Dablon en kreeg in 1887 stadsstatus. De naam van de stad stamt af van Sault Sainte Marie, Oudfrans voor "stroomversnelling van de heilige Maria", een referentie aan de stroomversnelling in de St. Marys River nabij de stad. Schepen en boten in dit drukke vaargebied kunnen vandaag de dag de stroomversnelling omzeilen via sluizen of een kanaal. Het gebied waar de stad zich bevindt werd oorspronkelijk bevolkt door het inheemse volk Baawetigowininiwag, het "Volk van de Stroomversnellingen", dat hier waarschijnlijk al vóór de 14e eeuw een grote nederzetting had gesticht - volgens hun traditionele geloof werden ze hiertoe aangezet door een grote kraanvogel die boven de watervallen van de St. Mary's-rivier cirkelde. De Baawetigowininiwag, die door de Fransen Saulteurs werden genoemd, maakten onderdeel uit van de Ojibwe Anishinaabe-natie. Hun nakomelingen, de Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians of - in de eigen taal - Baawitigong, wonen hier nog altijd in een reservaat nabij de stad. Lake Superior State University (LSSU) in Sault Ste. Marie is de kleinste staatsuniversiteit van Michigan, met zo'n 3000 studenten. De universiteit staat bekend als één van de voornaamste opleidingscentra in de VS op het gebied van robotica. Sault Ste. Marie is het noordelijke eindpunt van de nationale snelweg Interstate 75 en de lokale weg M-129. Spoorlijnen lopen van de stad in noordelijke richting naar Hearst in Canada en zuidelijk in de richting van Minneapolis en Milwaukee. Het vliegveld Sault Ste. Marie Airport ligt aan de Canadese kant van de rivier, ongeveer 10 kilometer ten westen van de stad.
