CASSOPOLIS.
A flourishing village of 1,000 inhabitants, is the county seat of Cass county. It is located in LaGrange township, nearly in the center of the county, and has excellent rail- road facilities, being at the intersection of the Air Line division of the M. C. and the .C. & L. H. lines. It is 14 miles east of Niles, 37 southwest of Kalamazoo, and 89 west of Jackson. It has no water power, though there is an abundance of water near by, the village being located just on the bank of Stone lake, and only one mile west of a beautiful sheet of water known as Diamond lake. In the center of this lake is a cosy little island, a favorite locality for picnics, etc. This lake and islands are also rapidly becoming a popular summer resort. A planing mill, a foundry and machine shop, and a wooden bowl factory constitute the manufacturing interests. The churches are 3-Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian. These, with a good wooden Union school house, and the county buildings, embracing a wooden court house, a brick jail, and fire- proof offices, constitute the public buildings. Two weekly newspapers are published here -- the National Democrat, owned by C. C. Allison, and the Vigilant, by Shepard & Mansfield. The first settlement was made here in 1829. In 1832 the place became the county seat, but its isolated position kept it in the back ground until the completion of its two railroads in 1870, since which it has enjoyed a healthy growth.
