Macomb County History:
Gratiot County encompasses the geographical center of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. With a total population of 39,982 persons according to the 1990 census, it boasts a variety of businesses and industries built on a strong agricultural base. Broad expanses of level terrain produce crops of sugar beets, corn, and other grains and beans; gently rolling pastures support beef and dairy cattle. Petroleum products from the Alma refinery fuel transportation and lubricate the machinery of industry and agriculture.

Settled in the mid-1800's, Gratiot County was named for General Charles Gratiot and established its county seat at Ithaca in 1856. The imposing courthouse on Center Street, built in the 1880's, has a majestic rotunda set off by ornate railings and interior woodwork. A Lutheran mission to the area Chippewa people, established in 1846 near Saint. Louis, was a forerunner of white settlement.
