'''Mio''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|aɪ|oʊ}} {{respell|MY|oh}}) is an [[Unincorporated area|unincorporated community]] and [[census-designated place]] (CDP) in [[Oscoda County, Michigan|Oscoda County]] in the U.S. state of [[Michigan]]. It is the [[county seat]] of Oscoda County.<ref name="GR6">{{cite web|url=http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx|access-date=June 7, 2011|title=Find a County|publisher=National Association of Counties}}</ref>  The population of the CDP was 1,690 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]].

Mio is situated along the boundary between [[Mentor Township, Oscoda County, Michigan|Mentor Township]] on the east, [[Big Creek Township, Michigan|Big Creek Township]] on the west, and [[Elmer Township, Oscoda County, Michigan|Elmer Township]] to the northwest.  As an unincorporated community, Mio has no legal autonomy as an incorporated municipality.

==History==
The community was founded in 1881 and was originally called "Mioe", in honor of Marla Deyarmond, the wife of town founder Henry Deyarmond. Other founders included Colige Comins, Reirlo Fosdick, and John Randall.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.laketolake.com/cities/display-city-92.php|title=Mio Bed and Breakfasts, Michigan Lake to Lake Bed and Breakfast Association - Michigan Lake to Lake Bed and Breakfast Association|work=laketolake.com|access-date=December 12, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090331205221/http://www.laketolake.com/cities/display-city-92.php|archive-date=March 31, 2009|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref> A post office named Mioe opened May 3, 1882. The name changed to Mio on November 21, 1883.<ref>{{gnis|2499972|Mio Post Office}}</ref>

===State high temperature record===
Mio holds the state record for the [[U.S. state and territory temperature extremes|highest recorded temperature]], when it reached {{convert|112|F|C}} on July 13, 1936. An identical temperature was also recorded on the same day in the village of [[Stanwood, Michigan|Stanwood]], in [[Mecosta County]].<ref name="scec">{{Cite web |title=State Climate Extremes Committee - Records - Michigan |url=http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/extremes/scec/records |access-date=January 21, 2016 |publisher=National Climatic Data Center}}</ref>

===PBB contamination event===
In 1973, a [[Polybrominated biphenyl|polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) contamination event]] caused farmers in the area to destroy their herds. This event occurred when a dock worker accidentally shipped five hundred pounds of fire retardant Fire Master instead of the feed supplement Nutrimaster,<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2014/12/28/pbb-crisis-unfolded/20974929/|title=PBB exposure forced farmers to destroy their herds|work=[[Detroit Free Press]]|access-date=March 27, 2017|language=en}}</ref> leading to the contamination of various farm animals, including cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep. Shortly after, the farmers noticed deformities and sickness among their livestock and newborn calves. More than 35,000 cows were found to be contaminated and had to be destroyed. Out of these, 1,300 were dumped into a clay-lined pit in Mio.<ref name=":0" /> As of 2014, PBB is still detectable in the blood tests of some people in this area.<ref name=":0" />

===Detroit-area hunters murdered===
For nearly eighteen years, Mio was thrust into the local and national media spotlight due to a case involving two [[Metro Detroit|Detroit-area]] hunters who went missing in the fall of 1985. Progress in the investigation was stymied by area residents' refusal to help, citing fears of violent reprisal. On November 21, 1985, childhood friends David Tyll and Brian Ognjan were beaten to death with baseball bats outside of a local bar. The case was eventually cracked in 2003, when two brothers, Raymond and Donald Duvall, both from South Branch, in [[Iosco County]], were convicted of murdering the pair near Mio. It was rumored that the murderers had disposed of the bodies by feeding them to pigs.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.michigan-sportsman.com/forum/threads/2-brothers-found-guilty-of-murdering-hunters.51347/ |title=2 brothers found guilty of murdering hunters |date=October 29, 2003 |first1=Hugh |last1=McDiarmid, Jr. |newspaper=[[Detroit Free Press]] |access-date=June 18, 2017}}</ref> When the two brothers were sentenced to life in prison without parole, Tyll's father said, "They took my son. It doesn't bring him back, but it's something."<ref>http://www.michigan/sportsman.com/form/achieve/index.php/t/51347.html {{dead link|date=June 2017}}</ref> A true account of the crimes was detailed in ''Darker Than Night'', a 2006 book by Tom Henderson.

===Historical markers===
There are two historical markers in Mio.
* Mio Hydroelectric Plant was built in 1916 on the lower Au Sable River. William W. Tefft, a [[Consumers Energy|Consumers Power]] civil and hydraulic engineer, invented and patented the so-called "conduit spillway", which channels excessive flow through channels built into the plant. This was the first plant to use it, and it is cheaper than other forms of spillways.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.michmarkers.com/Frameset.htm |title=Mio electric Plant historical marker |access-date=February 1, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100315141338/http://www.michmarkers.com/Frameset.htm |archive-date=March 15, 2010 |url-status=usurped |df=mdy-all }}</ref>
* [[Oscoda County Courthouse]] was built in 1888.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://webarchives.cdlib.org/sw1hm53n4b/http://www.ers.usda.gov/Briefing/Population/Photos/ShowCH.asp?FIPS=26135|title=Web Archives: View Archived Page|work=cdlib.org|access-date=December 12, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.michmarkers.com/Frameset.htm |title=Mio historical markers |access-date=February 1, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100315141338/http://www.michmarkers.com/Frameset.htm |archive-date=March 15, 2010 |url-status=usurped |df=mdy-all }}</ref> It was destroyed by a fire on May 5, 2016. Construction of a new building officially began on May 20, 2019, and was completed in February 2020.<ref>{{cite web |title=A Brief History of Oscoda County |url=https://www.oscodacountymi.com/county-history/ |website=County History |publisher=Oscoda County |access-date=30 July 2021 |ref=countyhistory}}</ref>

== Amish community ==
In 1900, Mio’s first Amish settlers arrived from Geauga County, Ohio. These settlers were considered "Old Order Amish" and followed strict rules. The fairly inexpensive land prices brought in more Amish settlers, and in the first five years, the community grew rapidly. The settlers took advantage of the once wooded land by growing clover, hay, peas, corn, and potatoes, as well as other bumper crops. Eventually, the Old Order Amish began to dwindle in numbers due to a large number joining the Amish-Mennonite congregation, which held more progressive beliefs. In 1954, the Old Order Amish became extinct when the congregation's last bishop passed away. In 1970, a new group of Amish, also from Geauga County, Ohio, settled in Mio, founding the fourth oldest Amish community. The three church district community is home to around 400 individuals.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2010-09-13 |title=Michigan Amish - Amish America |url=https://amishamerica.com/michigan-amish/ |access-date=2023-12-10 |language=en-US}}</ref> Although many of the Old Order Amish transitioned to following the Mennonite congregation due to their more progressive beliefs, the Amish that are settled in Mio today still follow a strict set of commands. However, Amish commands do vary from community to community.

==Geography==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the CDP had a total area of {{convert|8.98|sqmi|km2}}, of which {{convert|8.37|sqmi|km2}} is land and {{convert|0.61|sqmi|km2}} (6.79%) is water.

The Mio post office, with [[ZIP Code]] 48647, also serves the northern portions of Mentor Township and the northeastern part of Big Creek Township, as well as a large area of eastern and southern [[Elmer Township, Oscoda County, Michigan|Elmer Township]] and smaller portions of western [[Clinton Township, Oscoda County, Michigan|Clinton Township]] and [[Comins Township, Michigan|Comins Township]].<ref>[http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/MapItDrawServlet?geo_id=86000US48647&_bucket_id=50&tree_id=420&context=AdvSearch&_lang=en 48647 5-Digit ZCTA, 486 3-Digit ZCTA - Reference Map - American FactFinder]{{dead link|date=February 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, United States Census Bureau, 2000 census</ref>

==Education==
The area school district is [[Mio-AuSable Schools]],<!--UNI 24000--> which includes all of the CDP.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/DC2020/PL20/st26_mi/schooldistrict_maps/c26135_oscoda/DC20SD_C26135.pdf|title=2020 CENSUS - SCHOOL DISTRICT REFERENCE MAP: Oscoda County, MI|publisher=[[U.S. Census Bureau]]|access-date=2024-07-31}} - [https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/DC2020/PL20/st26_mi/schooldistrict_maps/c26135_oscoda/DC20SD_C26135_SD2MS.txt Text list]</ref>

[http://www.miok12.net/ Mio-AuSable Schools] is a Kindergarten through 12th grade school, with all grades contained in one building. Middle school and high school students are enrolled in seven classes each day, and the year routine follows a semester schedule. Mio-AuSable currently offers two Advanced Placement (AP) courses, AP Biology and AP Calculus AB. The school does not offer any Honors courses, but to make up for the lack of advanced classes, students are encouraged to dual-enroll through Kirtland Community College. Sophomores, juniors and seniors can choose to take online classes through the nearby community college, and if the students receive at least a C in a course, they will be granted college credit in that course which may transfer into the university of their choice after high school.

The high school has about approximately 170 students and 17 teachers, some of which double as middle school teachers.
