Local History
Messrs. Barker and Pratt began the first business here in 1869. The village, first called Orient, after its township, was renamed for an early surveyor for the Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad, which came through here in 1870. Nelson Ferguson became its first postmaster on December 8, 1871.
