Bloomingdale was settled in the mid 1850 s by Davis Haven and Henry Killefer, who move here from Ohio. It was given the name by Haven because he observed the area to be a blooming valley. The town took hold in 1870 when the Michigan Central Railroad extended it line through here and built the depot. It was incorporated as a village in 1881. Back to Main Page.
