AN OUTLINE OF THE HISTORY OF MICHIGAN.
Michigan derives its name from two Chippewa words Mitchaw, great, and Lagiegan, lake, and signifies the country of the great lakes.
The first Europeans to explore and occupy Michigan territory were the missionaries and fur traders of Canada early in the sixteenth century ; but the first permanent settlement of Michigan, of which there exists any authentic account, was at Sault de Ste. Marie, in the year 1668, under the direction of Jacques Marquette, a Jesuit priest of France.
This, like all the early settlements of the Territory now constituting the State of Michigan, was a missionary station established with the sole purpose of converting the Indians.
The actual settlement of Michigan, for the purpose of colonization and civil government, dates from the founding of Detroit by La Motte Cadillac on the 20th of July, 1701.
September 8, 1760, the French surrendered Michigan, together with Canada, to Great Britain, which surrender was ratified by the treaty,-Paris, Feb. 10, 1763-and Michigan continued under English rule until after the American revolution. July 1, 1796, Michigan formally passed into the possession of the United States, and became a part of the Northwest Territory. At this period all of Michigan away from Mackinac and the Detroit river was an unbroken wildernees.
In 1800 the Northwest Territory was divided into two territories, the one retaining the name Northwest Territory, the other receiving the name of Indiana Territory; the former embracing the eastern half and the latter the western half of Michigan, the dividing north and south line passing a few miles west of Mackinac.
In 1802 Ohio was admitted to the Union, and all of Michigan became a part of Indiana Territory, and so continued until by an act of Congress, July 11, 1805, Michigan was constituted a separate territory, with substantially its present boundaries. The ordinances of 1787 and 1789 were adopted as its charter, and Detroit was made its seat of government.
From 1805 to 1823 the territorial government was administered by the Governor and three Judges.
On the 3d of March, 1823, Congress vested the legislative power in the Governor and Council, composed of nine persons, selected by the President and confirmed by the Senate out of eighteen elected by the people of the Territory.
In 1835 a Constitution was adopted and the State Government elected, which was accepted by Congress June 15, 1836, and Michigan was admitted into the Union as a State upon condition of acceding to the boundary claims of Ohio, concerning which
(284)

an embittered controversy had arisen. This condition which was at first rejected by a convention called by the Legislature to consider it, was finally accepted by a second convention, December 15, 1836, and Michigan was formally declared a State by act of Congress, January 26, 1837.
By an act of the Legislature approved March 16, 1847, the seat. of government of the State was moved from Detroit to Lansing.
June 3, 1850, a Constitutional Convention met at Lansing and adopted a new Constitution, which was ratified by the people in November following, and has since continued in force, notwithstanding repeated attempts have been made to secure its revision.
The early development of the resources of the State was slow and attended with many drawbacks, prominent among them being the very unfavorable reports made by the Government Surveyors. In 1812 Congress appropriated two millions of acres for military bounties and it was the survey of lands for this purpose that brought out the above reports. But when actual experience demonstrated the falsity of such reports the country began to fill up with hardy and enterprising settlers, and the census of 1820 showed that the outside world was beginning to learn of Michigan's attractions, and now she stands well toward the head of the list, in respect to population and prosperity. The first township organizations were those of Detroit in 1802, Mackinaw Island in 1817, and Monguagon, in Wayne county, in 1818. Wayne was the only county from 1796 to 1817. Monroe, Macomb and Michilimackinac were organized in 1818, as well as Brown and Crawford, which comprised territory now within the State of Wisconsin. It may be of interest to give some of the original names of the counties, but which for various reasons have since been changed : Neguegon 1840, now Alcona ; Anamickee 1840, now Alpena; Meegesee 1840, now Antrim ; Keskkauko 1840, now Charlevoix; Wyandotte 1840, now part of Cheboygan; Kaykakee 1840, now Clare; Shawano 1840, now Crawford; Tonedagana 1840, now Emmet; Omeena 1840, now Grand Traverse; Kanotin 1840, now Iosco; Wabassee 1840, now Kalkaska; Aischum 1840, now Lake; Michilimackinac 1818, now Mackinac; Notipekago 1840, now Mason; Bleeker 1861, now Menominee; Cheonoquet 1840, now Montmorency; Unwattin 1840, now Osceola; Okkuddo 1840, now Otsego; Mikenauk 1840, now Roscommon; Kautawaubet 1840, now Wexford.
