On July 3, 1829, Horace Blackman, accompanied by Alexander Laverty,
a land surveyor, and an Indian guide
forded the
Grand River
and
made camp for the night at what is now Trail and
S. Jackson
Street
. They arrived
in
Jackson
on a well-traveled Indian trail leading
west from
Ann Arbor
. Blackman hired Laverty and Pewytum
to guide
him west. Blackman returned to
Ann Arbor
and then
Monroe
and
registered his claim for 160 acres
at two dollars an acre. Blackman
returned to
Jackson
in August, 1829, with his brother Russell. Together they
cleared land and built a cabin, built on the corner of what would become
Ingham and Trail streets. The town was
first called Jacksonopolis.
Later, it was renamed Jacksonburgh. Finally, in 1838 the town's name was changed
to simply
Jackson
.
Jackson
is the birthplace of the Republican Party. Undisputed is the
fact that the first official meeting of
the group that actually called
itself "Republican" was held in Jackson under the Oaks on July 6, 1854.
