Calvin G. (Squire) Hill, founder of the village of Middleville, came from New York state to Michigan in the autumn of 1834. He purchased four hundred acres on both banks of the Thornapple River where the village now stands. In 1854 he donated this land for a school. The Union School was built here and served the area until 1932. The Village Council of Middleville designated this site the Calvin G. Hill Park during the Bicentennial Year 1976.
