Description
View of Saginaw, Saginaw County, M.I., 1867 / drawn & published by A. Ruger.
This bird’s-eye view print of Saginaw, Michigan was drawn and published by Albert Ruger, Chicago Lith. in 1867. Saginaw was settled in the 1850's along the Saginaw River.
Saginaw, and East Saginaw on the east side of the river, grew with Michigan’s lumber industry. A number of saw mills were located along the river at this location.
Fallen trees in the area were floated downstream to Saginaw where the wood was processed for shipment by either steamer or railroad. East Saginaw was an important transportation center for Michigan railroads in the 1860's.
East Saginaw and Saginaw Township, along with Salinas to the south, were consolidated in 1889 as Saginaw.
