Description: Algoma Township was established by the Michigan Legislature on March 15, 1849, and named in honor of the steamer Algoma, which ran a route on the nearby Grand River in 1848. Early residents logged and farmed the area's land; today, these traditions continue. The treasured stories and images presented in this collection aim to highlight Algoma Township's development and the hardworking people who call the township home.
