Prior to the arrival of European settlers this area was the home of the Potawatomi and Ottawa people who used the Grand River as a major trade route.
The first permanent European settler was Presbyterian minister William Montague Ferry who came to Grand Haven in 1834. Dutch Calvinist separatists began arriving in 1847 led by Albertus VanRaalte to Holland and James VandeLuyster who established Zeeland.
