When Allen C. Mason launched his Point Defiance line in the early 1890s, the Proctor area became one of Tacoma's first streetcar suburbs. Before this time, Tacoma's North End was a remote, unsettled region populated only by those visiting the city's horseracing track. After Mason established a streetcar stop at the intersection of North Twenty-sixth and Proctor Streets—near the racetrack—businesses began to line the thoroughfare. By 1900, houses had been constructed within walking distance of the line, and a residential neighborhood provided the impetus for the construction of schools, a firehouse, churches, and a library. By the 1920s, the neighborhood had expanded and changed to reflect the introduction of the automobile as well as the district's popularity with University of Puget Sound students studying nearby. The community spirit that emerged then continues to this day.

Tacoma's Proctor District, Washington [Images of America Series]
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!
