History
St. Joseph was first sent in 1829, and the first lighthouse on the site, located on the shore, was built in 1832. The construction of port piers began in 1836, and by 1848 a lighthouse was installed on the pier.

The shore lighthouse was replaced in 1859 and a new lighthouse was built on the south pier in 1870. In 1881 this lighthouse was moved to the north pier. In 1897, a lantern pole was installed 400 feet inland to serve as a rear high beam light. In 1904 the wharf was extended and the high beams were moved towards the lake. In 1906/07 the current set of rangefinder lights was built.
