Description

In 1831; Alexis de Tocqueville described the Saginaw Valley as the �far west� of our growing nation; predicting that its impenetrable forests would soon be felled; and its river would be lined with quays and filled with vessels. Influential settlers soon began to confirm those predictions; including the Trombleys; who arrived in 1831 and built the Trombley House in 1837. Albert Miller platted Portsmouth in 1836�and Lower Saginaw; now known as Bay City; was platted the same year. Throughout the 20th century; majestic buildings were erected; schools; homes; and churches were established; and Bay City developed into a wonderful place to live; work; and raise a family.
