IONIA

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 728 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
IONIA , a city and the county-seat of Ionia county, Michigan, U.S.A., on the Grand river, about 34 M. E. of Grand Rapids. Pop. (1904) 5222; (1910) 5030. It is served by the Grand Trunk and the Pere Marquette railways. The greater part of the city is built on the bottom-lands of the valley within an area 2 M. in length and 1 m. in width, but some of the finest residences stand on the hills, which form an irregular semicircle behind the city, and command extensive views of the valley. Much of the building material is a brown
sandstone
  obtained from quarries only 3 M. distant; white clay, also, is found in the vicinity. The city is a
trade
  centre for a rich farming
district
 , has car-shops (of the Pere Marquette railway) and iron foundries, and manufactures wagons, pottery, furniture and clothing. The water-works are owned and operated by the municipality. Ionia was settled in 1833 by immigrants from German Flats, near Herkimer, New
York
 . It was incorporated as a
village
  in 1857, but the charter was allowed to lapse; it was again incorporated as a
village
  in 1865, and was chartered as a city in 1873.
