A BRIEF
ISTORICAL  KETCHOF.ANSING.
~/~I;---~--  ~ "/

1,1ANSING, the capital of the State of Michigan,
is located south of the geographical center of the
Lower Peninsula, at the confluence of the Grand
and Cedar rivers. The situation of the city is
extremely fine, rising gradually from the streams mentioned above, and forming a plateau with broad streets
and avenues crossing at right angles. A horse-shoe bend
of the Grand River, which encircles the city, affords fine
facilities for boating and dother pleasures, and also offers
abundant water supply for manufacturing purposes. In
1848 the Legislature assembled in a wooden structure
erected for that purpose, on a plat from wihich the forest
had been hastily cleared away. Since that time the city
has had a steady and prosperous growth. It was incorporated a city in 1859, with 3,085 inhabitants. The popu
V

lation now, is 14,()000. Here is located the State Reform
School, on a farm  consisting of 250 acres. The State
Agricultural College, three miles east of the city, on a
farm of 676 acres. divided by the Cedar River, is a magnificent spot. It has six college buildings, a conservatory,
a president's house, nine professors' residences, a farm
house, and many other buildings, and stands at the head
of agricultural colleges in this country. The Michigan
School for the Blind is located in the northwestern part
of the city, on fine grounds of 45 acres, and is a fine
institution. There are seven ward school buildings besides the high school building, which is the finest in the
State, costing $55,000. There are fifteen churches, thirteen hotels, eight banks, and many large manufactories,
and is one of the booming cities of Michigan.
