Beaverton City Centennial 1903-2003
Beaverton City Centennial

In 2003 the city of Beaverton, Michigan will celebrate 100 years as a city.  Prior to that time the Villiage of Beaverton had sprung up around the Ross Brothers mills at the confluence of the Tobacco and Cedar rivers.  Originally called Cedarville, then Grand Forks, the town of Beaverton was finally named after Beaverton, Ontario - the former home of the Ross Brothers.

Please feel free to share any historical information or stories about Beaverton people.  You may also contact Bob Frei: bob@frei.com.
