GRAND RAPIDS.
The second in size and importance of the cities of Michigan, and the county seat of Kent county. It is situated on Grand river in the western part of the State, 157 mile .; northwest of Detroit, 70 miles a little north of west of Lansing, and 48 miles about due north of Kalamazoo.
Itis reached from the cast by the Detroit & Milwaukee R. R. and the Grand River Valley branch of the Michigan Central K. K., both connecting it with Detroit. Two railroads extend southward the Grand Rapids & Indiana connecting at Fort Wayne with the Penn- sylvania system of roads, and the Kalamazoo division of the Lake Shore & Michigan South- ern connecting with the main line of that important road at White Pigeon. Another road, a branch of the Chicago & Michigan Lake Shore railroad, extends in a southwesterly direc- tion to Holland on the shore of Lake Michigan, and the Detroit & Milwaukee exien 1- ing westward connects it with Grand Haven, at the mouth of Grand river. In a northwesterly direction a road exten is to the Muskegon river at Newaygo,
RAILROADS CENTERING IN GRAND RAPIDS.
and northward the G. R. & I. R. R., reaches to Grand Traverse and Petoskey, stretch- ing further to the north than any other road in the lower peninsula. Grand Ra- pids thus has railroads radiating in eight different directions, rendering it a really important railroad center - excepting Detroit, the most important in the State.
The city lies on both sides of Grand river, at this point Soo feet wide, 30 miles above its mouth, and at the head of navigation. The river here has a fall of some to feet, affording probably the finest water power in the west, and which is giving Grand Rapids a leading position as a manufacturing city.
From the river banks the ground ri-es rapidly into high bluffs, the summits of which afford most magnificent views and the most healthlul of atmospheres.
The growth of the city has been very rapid, as the following figures show :

MANUFACTURES.
The natural water privilege is improve by the construction of dais at the land of the rapids, til feet high, and two canals. one on either side of the river, crying ibe water to the mills and focharies along the river banks. The east side ! we Will a mile in length, and from go to 130 fest

There are over three miles of stone pave- ment, besides some wood. A street railway extends the entire length of the city, north and south. The city is lighted with gas. Water works have lately been inaugurated at a cost of $260,000, employing . 6.000,000 gallon reservoir, 12 miles of pipe, and 137 hydrants. A system of sewers has also been commenced. Three fine covered bridges span the river.

control of Mr. C. G. Swensberg. It has late- ly moved into the new Ledyard block, rooms having been fitted up expressly for its ac- commodation, which are probably unsurpass- ed by those of any institution of the kind in the country. The college is highly and de- servedly popular, and has a large patronage from the entire western part of the State.
The churches include one Congregational, one Episcopal, two Methodist, one Baptist, one Presbyterian, one Dutch Reformed, one Universalist and three Catholic-all but one or two of which posse-s permanent and hand- some church edinces.
Grand Rapids has 4 daily newspapers, the Eagle, republican, the Demeerat, the Times, independent, and the Evening Notes, also independent. There are also seven weekly papers, prominent among which is the Satt-
day Evening Post, one of the spiciest papers in the State.
Grand Rapids has the free postal delivery system, and employs S letter carriers. The general government has now in hand thesub- ject of the erection of a government building at this point.
Neither the city nor county are vet pro- vided with suitable buildings for offices, but their speedy erection is looked forward to.
The fire department consists of 3 steam fire engines, with a fire alarm telegraph.
HISTORY.
In 1821 the tilbe of Ottawas cedel to the United States a mile square of land on the present site of Grand Rapids for a mission station, the government agreeing to fontain a teacher and a black anth, there's, at ary. penditure of $1,000 a year. The mission

was established in 1824 by Rev. I .. Slater, a Baptist clergyman, and a few other white men. Soon after Lewis Campau, an indian trader removed thither from Detroit at the instance of the North Western Fur Company. When in 1833 the land in this vicinity was brought into market, Mr. Campau secured the tract now the site of the city of Grand Rapids. In that year settlers began to pour in, and by 1837 it had become quite a vil-, lage. The well known Father Baraga, after- wards Catholic bishop of Lake Superior, was about this time conducting a mission among the indians on the west side of the river. In IS34 the first town meeting was held there being just 9 voters pres- sent. In the same year a portion of the present Rathbun house was erected. The place grew rapidly, shared in the speculation of 1836, and for several years after the col- lapse of 1837 suffered a severe depression. The first newspaper was printed here in 1837. The first bridge across the river was built in
1843. In 1854 a plank road was completed to Kalamazoo. In 1857 the city was first lighted with gas. The first train of cars entered Grand Rapids on July 10th, 1858. This was upon the completion of the D. & M. K. R. Nine years later the section of the G. R. & I. R. R., extending north to Cedar Springs was opened for business, and in 1870 completed southward to Fort Wayne. The Kalamazoo, Allegan & Grand Rapids road, now the L. S. & M. S. R. R., came in in 1869, and the G. R. V. in IS70. In 1872 the roads to Holland and Newaygo were com- pleted. The city is looking forward to a highly prosperous era in the immediate future.
For much of the information contained in this sketch the editors are indebted to a pamphlet sketch of Grand Rapids in, IS74 published by J. D. Dillenback.
