The city dates its founding to a fur-trading outpost of the American Fur Company called Gabagouache and dating back to at least 1809, although the Ottawa lived in the area much earlier as the river was a major Native American trade route into the interior of Michigan. The city was first called "Grand Haven" in 1835 and the community was incorporated as a city in 1867. The first permanent resident was Presbyterian minister William Ferry, who founded the first area church. Ferry is also the founder of the neighboring town of Ferrysburg. The second church opened 16 years later in 1850. Ferry began the first bank in 1851. Ferry also started a school Ferry Elementry and it is running to this day. Grand Haven developed into a logging, lumber mill and shipping area. The former Grand Trunk Railway on the waterfront near the river is now a historical museum. The Story and Clark Piano Company built pianos in the city from 1900-1984. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
