East Lansing lies on land that was an important junction between two major Native peoples, the Potawatomi and the Fox. By 1850 the Lansing and Howell Plank Road Company had been formed to link Lansing with the Detroit and Howell Plank Road, and the toll road, finished in 1853 with seven tollhouses, ran right through the future city. Michigan State University was founded in 1855 and opened on its present site in 1857. For four decades students and faculty lived almost entirely on campus, with a few commuting from Lansing, especially after a streetcar line was built in the 1890s.
In 1887 the professors William J. Beal and Rolla C. Carpenter laid out Collegeville along today's Harrison Road and Center and Beal streets, but few faculty moved there, and its first residents were teamsters and laborers. In 1898 the College Delta subdivision, supported by the college with utilities, drew several professors, one of whose homes survives on West Grand River Avenue, and other subdivisions followed. The post office address was then Agricultural College, Michigan, and a school district was formed in 1900. In 1907 residents proposed incorporating as College Park, but the legislature approved the charter under the name East Lansing. The first seven mayors, beginning with Clinton D. Smith in 1907, were professors or employees of the college. The 1907 charter banned the possession, sale and drinking of alcohol, and East Lansing remained dry until voters changed the provision in 1968. Sources Wikipedia: East Lansing, Michigan
