The earliest known resident of the county was Edward Fitzgerald, a fur trader, and trapper who visited the Muskegon area in 1748 and reportedly died there, believed to be buried in the vicinity of White Lake. The settlement of Muskegon began in 1837 when the Muskegon Township was organized as a subdivision of Ottowa County. Throughout its history, Muskegon has been an essential part of the surrounding area providing lumber, tank engine manufacturing and more. Today, it is described as a progressive city that delivers scenic forests, beautiful beaches and culture.
