Hull's Treaty of 1807 gave the Potawatomi and other Indian tribes nine sections of land in Dundee Township, where the Macon flows into the River Raisin. Main Street, Neiman, Day, and Dundee-Azalia Roads were the original boundaries. In 1817, the Indians donated three sections to the Church of St. Anne and its college in Detroit. In 1827, they exchanged five and a half sections for land in St. Joseph County. In 1835, Potawatomi Chief Moran extinguished Indian rights to the land by selling the remaining half section for $450.00. Nathaniel Graves, the first white man to own land on the reserve, built his farmhouse here in 1836.
