SAGINAW
AGINAW, the Indian name for the "Land of the Sauks," was first settled in 1823. The amazing
growth of the city has been largely due to the proximity of its site to the immense pine forests of
the great lumber State of Michigan, and to the fact that six streams unite here to form the Saginaw,
upon the surface of which has been floated more logs than upon any other river in the world.
The disappearance of the pine forests before the axe of the woodsmen led to a great change in the
character of the industries of Saginaw. While it is true that many wealthy and prosperous firms yet engage
in the lumber trade and allied lines of business, it is of especial note that no city in Michigan has a more
varied total of manufactured products, the result of the discovery of cheap fuel in the immediate neighborhood.
Coal was discovered in the Saginaw Valley about the period that the lumber business began to wane.
The development of mining operations was rapid and now there are thirteen mines within a few miles of the
city and many others projected.
The adjacent land has also been found admirably adapted to the raising of beet sugar and nine thousand
eight hundred acres are under cultivation for that purpose. The manufacture of plate glass has been
inaugurated in the city with gratifying success.
As for the social side of this busy community, it will compare favorably with that of any city in the
country. Its East Side and West Side school systems are models for educators; its churches and public
buildings are unusually attractive; the private residences of its citizens are substantial and homelike.
The seventy-thousand inhabitants of Saginaw have every reason to take an honest pride in their industrious, orderly and well-governed city.
