In 1848, farmer Peter Ramsey sold part of his land to the Paterson and Ramapo Railroad for a right-of-way and a station. The Ramsey family had been local landholders since the 1740s, and the railroad timetables called the stop Ramsey's Station. A town developed around the station, and Main Street, which bisected the railroad tracks, became a bustling hub of commerce that supported a growing population. Hotels, general and specialty stores, blacksmithshops, and other businesses offered goods and services to the residents of this center of rural life. Ramsey's Station became the shipping point for strawberries grown throughout the area, making it the nation's strawberry capital until the late 1800s. The fields are gone, but photographs and stories of that era are included in Ramsey, many published here for the first time. Discover Ramsey's past and the pride felt by generations who have called Ramsey their home.

Today, we see Grand Haven as a tourist town, and home to many. The area of Grand Haven is known mainly as "Coast Guard City" and a place many people visit in late July/early August for the 10 day festival known as Coast Guard Festival. Before the festival was even founded, the Grand Haven area was a whole different place than we know it today! Many images and descriptions are shown in the book, The Grand Haven Area: 1860-1960.
Written and published by Wallace Ewing and David Seibold, The Grand Haven Area: 1860-1960 covers many topics such as: Resort Life, Life Saving Service and Coast Guard, Industries, Downtowns, Services, Private and Public, Residences, Humble and Grand, Transportation Overland and On Water, Recreation and Leisure, and Disasters, Large and Small. Personally, I really enjoyed reading about past disasters and re-buildings of things we see in Grand Haven today! This book is a good read for anyone, but I'd for sure recommend it to anyone who lives in the Grand Haven, Spring Lake, Ferrysburg area!
