History & geography

History

Brown City was established in 1879 as a station on the Port Huron and Northwestern Railway, later a part of the Pere Marquette Railroad. The area quickly grew to become an efficient shipment point for lumber and grains. Brown City was incorporated as a village in 1887 and as a city in 1907. The Marquette Flyer provided early rail passenger and mail service between Detroit and Ludington. In the 1920s the Pere Marquette came under the control of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway and was formally merged into it on 6 June 1947. The city fell under the 4th Class City Act for its governance. In 1998, the city residents approved a charter ending its fourth class city status. The line southeast of Brown City is still in place to the Avoca grain elevator, but has been out of service since the HESR acquisition.
