About Ringsted

Ringsted is a quiet Emmet County town with deep Danish roots and a friendly, relaxed pace. Settled in the late 19th century and named after a Danish city, the community has held onto its heritage through the generations. One of the best-loved local stories is the historic split between the town's "Happy Danes" and "Sad Danes" over dancing and church traditions. Today, families enjoy a close-knit neighborhood feel, with local students attending the North Union school district and neighbors rallying around community events year-round.
