United States. Weather Bureau. Station No. 85 (Alpena, Mich.)
The Alpena Weather Station, designated "Station #85," was established in September 1872. It was one in a system of weather reporting stations authorized by an act of February 9, 1870 (16 Stat. 369). The stations formed part of the meteorological service of the United States Department of War's Signal Office. In 1890, this service was transferred to the Weather Bureau within the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Weather Bureau became part of the U.S. Department of Commerce in 1940. In 1970, it was reorganized as part of that department's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
