Ann
Arbor was established in 1823 by two couples, and, in 1824 became the seat of
Washtenaw County. In 1833, it was founded as a village, and, in 1851, it went
on to become a city. Alongside this transition, Ann Arbor’s population grew and
so too did its reputation as a business travel hub. Other important
developments at this time include the opening of the Kempf House Museum and the
establishment of the University Of Michigan Medical School. This period is also
marked by the arrival of the Michigan Central Railroad to Ann Arbor.
