Saginaw: A Brief History

Saginaw's vibrant present and bright future rests on the foundation of its rich and storied past. 

First settled in 1822, the U.S. Military built Fort Saginaw where Court and Hamilton Streets now intersect. 

Within a year, the military abandoned the fort. Fur traders and farmers took over the buildings, a small settlement took root and Saginaw's earliest commercial ventures sprouted.
