This Village is situated at the junction of US Highway 45 which runs north and south, and M-28 which crosses east-west, roughly parallel to the Duluth, South Shore & & Atlantic Railroad line, which is now a major east-west snow sled path (No. 8). In 1845 an overland mail route was developed from Green Bay, Wisconsin, to Ontonagon Village. It offered service during the cold weather and ended up being a nationally designated wagon path (called the Military Road). Military road intended to connect Fort Howard at Green Bay with Fort Wilkins at Copper Harbor. Construction of the roadway began in 1863, and a little relay station was established in 1868 to accommodate the guys working on the roadways construction. This acted as the birth of Bruce Crossing. Logging companies and their camps followed the building of the Military Road.

The first Settler was August Neuman, who constructed a sawmill at the area. The first permanent structure built in Bruce Crossing - in 1886 - was Donald Bruces tavern, hotel, and store, developed at the crossing of the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway and the old Military Road, to house the railroad employees arriving in the location.
