History & History Related Items
East Lansing began as an extension of the college here in the 1850s. The first homes here were known as Faculty Row. This little village was mostly for students, administrators and professors of the college. Several planners were William James Beal and Rolla C. Carpenter who platted out an area north of the campus for housing. As the 1900s rolled in, so did new homeowners and their families. Collegeville and other areas were then chartered as East Lansing. As these developments grew so did the college. The education in the area from the start to the university level was well known as exceptional and continues to rank well today. For some good history information and a number of history links, please see the East Lansing Historical Society website.
