The city of Kingsford, MI is located in Dickinson County just south of Iron Mountain. The city lies on the edge of the Upper Peninsula border along the Menominee River. With its 4.58 square mile area and a population of just over 5,000 people, moving to Kingsford offers a close-knit, small-town feel. The city has a rich history dating back to 1920 starting with only 40 residents. When the city developer Edward G. Kingsford met with Henry Ford to plan a manufacturing plant in Kingsford, the city boomed. The construction of the Ford Motor Company in Kingsford employed over 3,000 people in the first year. The production of car parts generated a significant amount of wood scraps which Ford suggested be processed into charcoal. Ford first marketed his charcoal products as Ford Charcoal but it was later renamed Kingsford Charcoal in honor of the Kingsford, MI founder who helped broker Ford’s operation. Kingsford charcoal is now the leading manufacturer of charcoal in the US, used at family cookouts and barbecues nationwide!

How Does “Moving Valuation” Work?
There are three levels of valuation. The basic plan is typically called “Release Rate Liability” and will pay you a certain amount of money per pound or a fraction of what your item's value is.
You can also get “Full-Value Coverage” which means that, if your belongings are lost or damaged, will be repaired, replaced with items, or get a cash settlement.
Lastly, you will be able to mark your items on a “High-Value Inventory'' list. All items that come in at over $100 per pound must be on this list. This can be anything from jewelry to art to antiques and more.
