Tribe)
| Isabella County was formed in 1831 from parent counties, Saginaw
and Midland. The county is located close to the geographic center of the
lower peninsula of Michigan. While primarily rural in nature, Isabella
County is also noted for it's oil and gas production and the manufacturing
of machinery for industry, food service and wood products. Mt. Pleasant
is the county seat and also the home of Central Michigan University and
the Clarke Historical Library, the second largest genealogy and historical
library in the state. Central Michigan University was opened in 1893 as
the Central Normal School and Business Institute. The school was operated
by the city of Mt. Pleasant until 1895 when it was taken over by the State
of Michigan and became Central Michigan Normal School. CMU became a four
year institution in 1918 and a university in 1959. The county also encompasses
the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Reservation, home of the Soaring Eagle Casino.
