From an 1851 Sawmill Settlement to a Lumber Town
John and Lydia Smith settled Cedar Springs in 1851, building a sawmill and inn, and the community was established as a lumber town in 1856; the Michigan Legislature incorporated it as a village in March 1871, though it didn't become the City of Cedar Springs until October 1959.
