Return to Index History & History Related Items Yale history: : It was July 4, 1851 when Nathan White brought his family to this area in the Thumb of Michigan. Early accounts state that wildlife such as bear, deer, wildcat, badger, fisher, lynx and muskrat were plentiful, as well as the lush white pine that first brought the lumbermen and the creek which they used as transportation. A man named Hiram Allen came to the area and established a booming lumber company that same year. He also built the first road which was called corduroy because it was made from logs. By 1853 over 50 families had settled around the community which was then known as "Brockway Centre". A need arose to educate the children and the first school house and community center was built when residents held a 'bee'. In 1881 the settlers won a hard fought battle to bring the railroad through the town and residents were overjoyed at their new opportunity for travel and trade. That year there was a population boom in the area. In 1882 residents favored a name change of the city to a more dignified Yale, after the university of learning. On March 14, 1889 the Governor signed the bill making the name change from Brockway Centre to Yale official. Yale's oldest continuing business is The Yale Expositor, a weekly newspaper still in publication and established in 1882 Return to Index Contribute information free or for a small service charge for this community or any other community in the USA Be sure to include the name of the community and its state when contacting Key to the City as you are NOT directly contacting this community.
