History

"Miles" Williams, who built a dam, saw mill and later a grist mill in town, eventually platted the land in 1845 and named the town "Williamstown" after himself. (For many years, several street signs inside the city were misspelled as "Putman Street", leading to confusion about the correct spelling.) In 1839, the Putnams sold their land to Oswald B., James M., and Horace B. The area was settled by Europeans in 1834 when Hiram and Joseph Putnam moved briefly to the area from Jackson, Michigan They spent less than one full year in the area, planting and then harvesting one crop of oats. There were earlier histories, as well, published in 1880, the 1930s, and in 1963. It was first occupied by a small band of the Saginaw tribe of the Chippewa People which by the mid 1800s used the area as a 'summer village' (it was not used by them year-round, but they 'wintered' in the area that is now Meridian Township).
