Barry County, located in the great state of Michigan, was established on April 29, 1829, and officially organized on March 2, 1839. Covering an area of about 576 square miles, it is situated between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo in the southwestern part of the state. The county was named in honor of William Taylor Barry, a statesman from Kentucky who served as the United States Postmaster General under President Andrew Jackson.
The first settlers arrived in Barry County around 1830, with the earliest settlements taking place in the eastern townships of Assyria, Baltimore, and Johnstown. The county has historically thrived on agriculture and forest products, with varying industries like corn, wheat, oats, and potatoes being cultivated there. Additionally, the county saw the growth of sawmills and gristmills during the mid-19th century, which contributed significantly to the region's economy.
One fun fact about Barry County is that it is home to the Yankee Springs Recreation Area, which spans more than 5,200 acres and offers a variety of outdoor activities, such as hiking, skiing, mountain biking, and snowmobiling. The park is named after a Connecticut innkeeper, William "Yankee Bill" Lewis, who established his inn on a stagecoach road running from Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids in the early 1800s. The inn became a popular stopping point for travelers during the westward expansion, and its foundations can still be seen at the Yankeetown site within the park.
