Founded in 1850 and first known as Michigan City, the town was originally located on a slope one half mile from here. In 1858 it became undermined and unsafe, so it was moved to this location and renamed Michigan Bluff. Leland Stanford, who gained wealth and fame in California, operated a store in Michigan City from 1853 to 1855.
