Local History

This settlement was known as Plummer's Pier before Charlotteville was founded by a lumbering company in 1859 and named for Charlotte Howe, wife of one of the owners.  In 1870, another owner, George C. Bridgman, platted a village a half mile east, on the railroad where a station was opened that year, and both the station and the village were named Bridgman.  Incorporated as a village in 1927 and as a city in 1949.
