SAINT JOSEPH, 1870: The location where Lake Michigan meets the St. Joseph River has been one of the most important places in our community’s history for centuries. The Miami and Potawatomi used the area as a camp long before European explorers noticed the mouth of the river in 1669 and St. Joseph was incorporated as a village in 1834.
