. J..mlme.,..z L. .,, M I MICHIGAN CITY IN l86O Michigan City had only a few residents, mainly fur-traders, in the late twenties, It was founded in I83I by Major Isaac C. Elston, in honor of whom our school is named. It became a city in I832. hen the great rush to the West occurred at that time, it began to be a place o some importance, and its inhabitants thought that a harbor should be constructed to give anchorage for ships and also to help the town. As it grew, of course, it needed more buildings. Other little nearby towns were forsaken, and a number of their inhabitants tore down their dwellings and moved them by ox team to Michigan City to help build up new places. Michigan City began to flourish. lts citizens were wide awake and advertised their little town freely. It became a good place for trade, for it was on the main road from Detroit, as well as on one from the north. Michigan City was considered a great lumbering port. Often ships would lie at anchor in Lake Michigan, waiting for ships already docked to unload and thus make room for newcomers. The eastern tract of land has become a center of remarkable events: it is the scene of the old Indian Council and dancing groundsg the site of the Revolutionary battle with the British: and the site of Marquette Spring, where fur-traders who passed along the trail usually camped because of its good water and excellent position. Another interesting feature of Michigan City was her huge sand-dunes. Over these were blazed many a trail by Indian and pioneer, and today they give thought for reflection and historic reminiscence.
