About Muskegon

Once home to the Paleo-Indian hunters, Muskegon has a rich history that stretches back over seven thousand years. Following this, it was also home to the Ottawa and Pottawatomi Indian tribes. The area even takes its name from an Ottawa Indian term meaning 'marshy river'.

The lumber industry brought in a wave of settlers in the 1800s and the area's popularity has grown ever since.
