Lansing​ ​History Long​ ​before​ ​Lansing​ ​became​ ​Michigan's​ ​capital​ ​city,​ ​the​ ​region​ ​was​ ​unsettled,​ ​full​ ​of dense​ ​forests​ ​and​ ​abundant​ ​wildlife.​ ​The​ ​only​ ​occupants​ ​were​ ​Native​ ​Americans​ ​who survived​ ​by​ ​living​ ​off​ ​the​ ​land​ ​along​ ​the​ ​state's​ ​longest​ ​river. In​ ​the​ ​winter​ ​of​ ​1835,​ ​two​ ​brothers​ ​from​ ​Lansing,​ ​New​ ​York​ ​plotted​ ​the​ ​area​ ​just​ ​south of​ ​downtown​ ​Lansing,​ ​naming​ ​the​ ​territory​ ​"Biddle​ ​Town."​ ​Most​ ​of​ ​this​ ​land​ ​was​ ​in​ ​a floodplain​ ​and​ ​underwater​ ​for​ ​much​ ​of​ ​the​ ​year.​ ​Despite​ ​the​ ​condition​ ​of​ ​the​ ​land,​ ​the brothers​ ​returned​ ​to​ ​New​ ​York​ ​to​ ​sell​ ​the​ ​plots​ ​to​ ​unsuspecting​ ​individuals​ ​wanting​ ​to test​ ​their​ ​fortunes​ ​in​ ​a​ ​new​ ​land.​ ​The​ ​group​ ​of​ ​settlers​ ​arrived​ ​to​ ​Mid-Michigan​ ​only​ ​to find​ ​their​ ​plots​ ​submerged​ ​under​ ​several​ ​feet​ ​of​ ​water.​ ​Nevertheless,​ ​many​ ​in​ ​the​ ​group chose​ ​to​ ​stay​ ​and​ ​established​ ​what​ ​is​ ​now​ ​Metropolitan​ ​Lansing.​ ​They​ ​christened​ ​the town​ ​"Lansing​ ​Township"​ ​after​ ​their​ ​home​ ​village​ ​in​ ​New​ ​York.

In​ ​1847,​ ​the​ ​sleepy​ ​settlement​ ​had​ ​fewer​ ​than​ ​20​ ​residents​ ​when​ ​the​ ​state​ ​constitution mandated​ ​that​ ​the​ ​current​ ​state​ ​capital​ ​relocate​ ​from​ ​Detroit​ ​to​ ​a​ ​more​ ​centralized​ ​and protected​ ​location.​ ​The​ ​state​ ​legislature​ ​determined​ ​that​ ​Detroit's​ ​proximity​ ​to​ ​the border​ ​made​ ​it​ ​vulnerable​ ​to​ ​invasions​ ​by​ ​British​ ​forces​ ​in​ ​Canada.​ ​There​ ​was​ ​also

concern​ ​that​ ​the​ ​large​ ​city​ ​would​ ​hold​ ​too​ ​much​ ​influence​ ​over​ ​state​ ​politics. Unable​ ​to​ ​agree​ ​upon​ ​a​ ​suitable​ ​location​ ​for​ ​the​ ​new​ ​capital,​ ​the​ ​Michigan​ ​House​ ​of Representatives​ ​eventually​ ​settled​ ​on​ ​Lansing​ ​Township​ ​out​ ​of​ ​sheer​ ​frustration.​ ​The state​ ​renamed​ ​Lansing,​ ​after​ ​John​ ​Lansing,​ ​a​ ​New​ ​York​ ​patriot​ ​and​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​official delegates​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Constitutional​ ​Convention. The​ ​small​ ​village​ ​quickly​ ​expanded​ ​in​ ​the​ ​years​ ​following​ ​the​ ​re-positioning​ ​of​ ​the​ ​state's capital.​ ​The​ ​Michigan​ ​Agriculture​ ​College​ ​in​ ​East​ ​Lansing​ ​and​ ​the​ ​Michigan​ ​Female College​ ​opened.​ ​The​ ​Agricultural​ ​College,​ ​established​ ​in​ ​1855,​ ​is​ ​the​ ​first​ ​land​ ​grant college​ ​and​ ​oldest​ ​agricultural​ ​teaching​ ​center​ ​in​ ​the​ ​nation.​ ​These​ ​educational institutions​ ​would​ ​ultimately​ ​combine​ ​to​ ​become​ ​Michigan​ ​State​ ​University. By​ ​the​ ​time​ ​the​ ​city​ ​was​ ​incorporated​ ​in​ ​1859,​ ​Lansing​ ​had​ ​nearly​ ​3,000​ ​residents.​ ​The city​ ​continued​ ​to​ ​grow​ ​steadily​ ​during​ ​the​ ​next​ ​two​ ​decades,​ ​adding​ ​a​ ​city-wide​ ​rail system,​ ​plank​ ​road,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​current​ ​state​ ​Capitol​ ​building. The​ ​land​ ​had​ ​been​ ​a​ ​farm​ ​for​ ​decades​ ​before​ ​its​ ​owner​ ​sold​ ​it​ ​to​ ​Standard​ ​Realty​ ​and​ ​the Dyer-Jenison-Barry​ ​Land​ ​Co.​ ​All​ ​that​ ​remained​ ​was​ ​an​ ​old​ ​cattle​ ​barn,​ ​according​ ​to author​ ​Birt​ ​Darling​ ​in​ ​his​ ​history​ ​of​ ​Lansing,​ ​"City​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Forest."​ ​This​ ​new​ ​development became​ ​a​ ​pseudo-suburb​ ​-​ ​new​ ​homes​ ​built​ ​on​ ​former​ ​farmland,​ ​yet​ ​within​ ​walking distance​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Capitol. Throughout​ ​the​ ​remainder​ ​of​ ​the​ ​century,​ ​Lansing​ ​developed​ ​as​ ​an​ ​industrial powerhouse.​ ​The​ ​city's​ ​transition​ ​to​ ​manufacturing​ ​began​ ​in​ ​1897​ ​with​ ​the​ ​founding​ ​of the​ ​Olds​ ​Motor​ ​Vehicle​ ​Company​ ​by​ ​R.E.​ ​Olds.​ ​Lansing​ ​soon​ ​emerged​ ​as​ ​a​ ​major American​ ​industrial​ ​center​ ​for​ ​the​ ​manufacturing​ ​of​ ​automobiles​ ​and​ ​now​ ​produces more​ ​cars​ ​each​ ​year​ ​than​ ​any​ ​other​ ​city​ ​on​ ​the​ ​continent.​ ​Today,​ ​the​ ​city's​ ​economy​ ​is diversified​ ​among​ ​government​ ​service,​ ​healthcare,​ ​manufacturing,​ ​and​ ​education. With​ ​a​ ​booming​ ​economy​ ​and​ ​a​ ​diversified​ ​population​ ​of​ ​more​ ​than​ ​500,000,​ ​the greater​ ​Lansing​ ​area​ ​honors​ ​its​ ​humble​ ​beginnings​ ​while​ ​embracing​ ​the​ ​changes​ ​of​ ​the future.
