Four Flags Area Chamber of Commerce - Niles, Michigan
Over 300 hundred years ago, the first European explorers settled in this
beautiful river valley, making this area one of the oldest European
settlements. Upon their arrival, they wrote in their journals about the
hospitality of the natives, the natural beauty of the land, the
combination of the climate, richness of the soil and the calming waters
of the St. Joseph River Valley that produced an abundance of fish, fowl,
fruits and vegetables. It is no wonder that four nations under four
flags – France, England, Spain and the United States – fought for and
defended this picturesque region.
The Four Flags Area is built around the St. Joseph
River, a unique river that flows north, and has provided the citizens of
the Four Flags Area with a different perspective on life. Like the river
flowing north, citizens following the river’s course have strived onward
and upward to prosperity. Continuing the tradition of the hospitality
our Native Americans extended to the first explorers in 1679, the Four
Flags Area extends a warm welcome to visitors and new residents alike.
The settlement of Niles was founded on the banks of
the St. Joseph River as Fort St. Joseph in 1691, because this area
offered the region’s safest river crossing. The Potowatomi Indians
called this shallow, well-graveled ford a “pawating” and used it for
centuries on their annual migration to summer on the cool shores of
nearby Lake Michigan.
Today on this site, a bridge spans across the St.
Joseph River adjacent to a regional medical center – taking the place of
the safe passage for ferry and wagon. But the residents of the four
Flags Area still walk the streets of the town of Niles safely among our
historic buildings to transact business and industry, work or play. In
downtown Niles, it's just a short walk away from shopping for treasures
in one of our many antique shops, malls, or quaint downtown stores. |
