From what I've been told,whether it's true or not... It was founded by German farmers. The rich,black soil was excellant for growing crops. The town greatly suffered during the great Sanilac fire of the late 1800's, in wich most of Sanilac & half of Huron counties burned. Submitted by: Marty Graham
