The region of country now known as the State of Michigan has been a conspicuous figure in the history of the New World for well nigh two hun- dred years. In the efforts of the French to gain and maintain a strong foot- hold on the continent, they early took advantage of the easy communication with the interior, furnished by the St. Lawrence River and the lower lakes, and eventually pushed their discoveries, as well as colonies and military posts nearly half way across the continent. The site of Detroit was soon recognized as a strategic point of importance, and became a base for operations farther north and west, as well as an important member of a series of military posts by which it was proposed to unite the Gulf of St. Lawrence with the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico; and thus confine the English speaking colonists to a narrow region principally along or near the Atlantic Coast. But the struggle for supremacy on this continent was settled in favor of the English, and Michigan, from being a French province for nearly one hundred years, became a British dependency in 1763, and continued so until the close of the Revolutionary War, when the chain of great lakes became the boundary between the colonies and the mother country, although formal possession was not fully relinquished until 1796. Prior to this time the shores of the great lakes had been examined and a number of trading posts established, around which gathered in some instances a few families, but beyond Detroit to the west and north scarcely any thing was known of the interior of the country for some time after the opening of the present century. Michigan was at first included with a vast and undefined region west and north of the Ohio River, under the general name of the Northwest Ter- ritory. This, after the organization of Ohio, was known as Indiana Terri- tory until 1805, when Illinois Territory was instituted and Indiana Territory embraced only what is now the State of Indiana. Upon the admission of Illinois as a state in 1818, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin were attached to and known as Michigan Territory. During the territorial existence of Indiana, it was for convenience divided into several territorial counties, of which the most easterly one, named in honor of General Wayne, included all of the lower peninsula of Michigan ; and upon the separation of Michigan from Indiana this name attached to the older or principal settled part ; so that it is proper in a sense to say that ail of the counties of Michigan are off-shoots from Wayne County. Up to 1820 Detroit contained only a few hundred inhabitants, and out- side of what is now Wayne County they were still few and far between. General Cass was Governor of the territory which now began to attract public attention, on account of its eligible situation, the wealth of its forests, its soil and minerals. In 1821 by a treaty with the Pottawatomies, followed by a similar one with the Ottawas, each tribe ceded a mile square of their lands, to be selected by the President, upon the condition that a teacher and a blacksmith were to be maintained upon these tracts at an ex- pense of $1,000 per annum, for the benefit and instruction of the Indians. The carrying out of these stipulations was placed in the hands of General Cass, and Charles C. Trobridge was commissioned by him' to arrange the details. The Pottawatomie station was located on the St. Joseph River, and the Ottawas at the rapids, on Grand River ; and this became the nucleus for the future County of Kent. PIONEERS AND EARLY SETTLEMENT. There was a tradition among the Indians, of a white man having visited the rapids on Grand River a hundred years or more ago; but so far as is now known, to Rix Robinson, who settled at the mouth of the Thorn Apple, as an Indian trader in the year 1821, belongs the distinction of being the first white man to locate within the limits of Kent County. A Mr. Isaac McCoy, an agent of the Baptist Missionary Convention of the United States, visited Grand Rapids in 1823 with the view of securing the benefits of the Indian Grant for the body represented by him, but failing in some of the arrangements he staid but a stort time. In the following year Rev. Lewis Slater, a Baptist Missionary, came with a blacksmith and two. other whites, and erected a log residence and a log school house, the first ever put up at the. Rapids. In 1826 Louis Campau, a native of Detroit, but for ten years an Indian trader at Saginaw, came here for the purpose of making it his permanent home. He also established trading posts at Kalamazoo, Muskegon and several other points. From this time until 1833, a brother, Toussaint Cam- pau was also with him much of the time. A few Indian traders visited the Rapids from time to time, but the lands were not in the market, and the Indians held full possession. In the year 1833, however, a land office was established at White Pigeon. "David Tucker and Gideon N. Gordon had established themselves at Granville in 1832, and Mr. Mursoc at Lowell in 1829, but in 1833 things began to wear a different aspect-at least half a. dozen families had settled within Wyoming Township. Mr. Campau and. Luther Lincoln entered the first tracts of land ; Lincoln securing the site of the Village of Grandville, and Mr. Campau a portion of the present site of the City of Grand Rapids, lying east of the river and south of Bridge Street.
