Local History

It came into being with the Wylie Cooperage Company about 1888.  Its station on the Manistee & Northwestern Railroad was named Wylie's.  

It became a ghost town about 1915 when the source of the raw elm logs was depleted.  Originally about a mile south of Interlochen, part of its town site is now in that village.
