Village of Vicksburg, MI

Village of Vicksburg, MI Vicksburg is a village in Kalamazoo County in the U.S. state of Michigan. http://www.vicksburgmi.org The population was 3,412 at the most recent census.

The village is located mostly within Schoolcraft Township on the east side, though a portion is also within Brady Township. John Vickers, the town's namesake, settled in the area in 1831. It was incorporated as a village of the state in 1871. A Michigan Registered Historic Site plaque reads:[6]
VICKERS' MILL: In 1831, John Vickers built a brush dam over the eight-foot waterfall on Portage Creek an

d erected a log grist mill. The mill is believed to have been the first mill in Kalamazoo County. The dam created a pond that supplied water power to the mill, and formed the sizeable Sunset Lake, around which pioneers built homes and set up businesses. Vickers died in 1842. On October 18, 1871, the village was incorporated as Brady, but one day later, a petition passed to rename it Vicksburg.
