Calhoun County, located in the great state of Michigan, has a rich history that dates back to its founding in 1829. Named after John C. Calhoun, the 7th Vice President of the United States and a prominent South Carolina politician, the county played a vital role in the growth and development of Michigan.

The region was initially home to several Native American tribes, including the Potawatomi, Miami, and Algonquin. European settlers began to arrive in the early 19th century, primarily from New York and New England, attracted by the fertile land and abundant timber.

In 1833, Battle Creek, Calhoun County's most populous city, was established as a Quaker settlement by Sands McCamly. The city played a crucial part in the Underground Railroad during the 1850s, with several residents actively working as conductors to help slaves escape to freedom.

Marshall, another city in Calhoun County, was a contender for the state capital due to its central location. Although it was not ultimately chosen, Marshall later became an important railroad hub, connecting different parts of Michigan with major cities such as Chicago and Detroit.

One fun fact about Calhoun County is that it is known as the "Cereal Capital of the World." In 1894, the Kellogg brothers accidentally invented the corn flake while experimenting with wheat, leading to the establishment of the Kellogg Company. Additionally, Charles W. Post founded Post Cereals in the area in 1895. To this day, Battle Creek is home to major cereal production facilities, making it an essential part of America's breakfast history.
