History & History Related Items

Mason history:

Mason was first settled in 1836 by Lewis Lacey when he opened a sawmill here. Later, one of the sawmill company executives arrived and also became the first postmaster of Mason Center as it was called. Mason became the County seat of Ingham County in 1840. The city dropped the Center portion of the name in 1842. It was incorporated in a village in 1865 and as a city about ten years later. It was named for the first governor of Michigan, Stevens T. Mason. The beautiful, historic courthouse was built in 1903 and has been renovated. The clock tower on the building is a feature of the community. An unique point of history for Mason is that it is the only city in the country that is a county seat and is located in the same county as the state capital. Though many people commute to Lansing and that urban area, Mason has maintained its basic rural charm. Outside the city are agricultural areas that help the city to be buffered from the urban sprawl. Mason has continued to have high-quality schools and good access to business and entertainment, both local and in the nearby areas.
