HILLSDALE,


The city of Hillsdale, the county seat of Hillsdale county, is a thriving place of some 4,500 inhabitants, situated at the junction of the Detroit, Hillsdale & Indiana railroad with the L. S. & M. S. railroad, 91 miles from Detroit, 65 miles from Toledo, and 178 from Chicago.


The county, as the name of the county and town indicates, is richly diversified with hills and dales.


One of the chief interests of the town is the Free Will Baptist college located here, and known as Hillsdale College. This insti- tution, the only one this society, has, was originally located at Spring Arbor; eight miles southwest of Jackson, but was subse- quently removed to this place, where it was formally opened in November, 1855. It is beautifully located on what is now known as College Hill, a tract of 20 acres of land, ly- ing about 100 rods north of the city proper, donated to the society by Mr. Blackmar. During the winter of 1873-4 the college buildings came near being entirely destroyed by fire, only a portion of the east wing hav- ing been saved. The loss was a heavy one, some $60,000 to $70,000, but nothing daunt- ed by their misfortune, the society resolutely set to work to rebuild, on even a grander scale than before, and are (1875) vigorously pushing forward to completion three of the


five distinct edifices hereafter to constitute the college buildings. The institution num- bers between 300 and 400 students, and is under the presidency of Rev. Dewitt C. Dur- gin.


The manufacturing interests of the town are not very extensive, though the chair fac- tory of Crowell & Hubbard is one of the larg- est enterprises of the kind in the State, eui- ploying at times fully 300 hands. There are also 2 foundries and machine shops, a table manufactory and planing, sash, blind and door factory, and an extensive fouring mill.


The St. Joseph river, which passes through the city, has its rise only a couple of miles or so distant, but affords no water power of any account.


The city schools are first-class, consisting of a good union and four ward schools.


The churches consist of a Methodist, Pres- byterian, Catholic, Episcopal, Advent and Free Will Baptist, the latter being the finest church edifice in town. The Baptists have an organization but no building.


The local press consists of the Standard, republican, the Democrat and Weekly Busi- ness, independent, all in a prosperous condi- tion. It also has 2 national banks. Settled 1832. Reached by the railroad, 1843. In. corporated a city, 1869. Detroit & Hills- dale railroad completed, 1871. Express- United States. Telegraph-Western Union. Eli Van Vakenburg, postmaster.
