Gaastra is a city in Iron County in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 347, making it Michigan's third-smallest incorporated city by population after Omer (259) and Lake Angelus (290). In 2020, its population was 316.
The land was first purchased in 1879 by Alfred Kidder of Marquette. It was then transferred to several other owners, including Andrew Young in 1884 and Edwin H. Piper in 1902. The city is named after Douwe Gaastra, a building contractor and real estate speculator who bought the land in October 1908 and platted the town. A post office was established, with the first postmaster being Olaf A. Olson on September 26, 1914. It was incorporated as a village in 1919 and as a city in 1949. Olson retired as postmaster in 1953.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.64 square miles (4.25 km²), all land.
