BusinessesLocal HistoryThe railroad came through here in 1873, first hauling ore and later, logs. In 1883, Manazipe Perron built a dam and a sawmill here and he became the first postmaster on September 11, 1897, of the settlement which followed. When the woods were cleared many Poles came here to farm, with Henry Gasman as their guiding spirit. Informational excerpts from Michigan Place Names, by Walter Romig, L.H.D.
