City Hall

 William Gay Butler and family, from Hartford, Connecticut, settled here in 1830.  He platted the village in 1833 and had it recorded as Kalamazoo, it being by the Kalamazoo River.  In 1836, the legislature gave that name to the town since bearing it, and to this village the name of Newark, after its township.  Rensselaer R. Crosby became the first Postmaster on Newark on May 2, 1835, succeeded by Mr. Butler on April 4, 1838.  Stephen A Morrison, who became the third postmaster on January 18, 1842, got it given its old Indian name of Saugatuck, Pottawattomi for river’s mouth, for near here the Kalamazoo River empties into Lake Michigan.  In 1868, both village and township were renamed Saugatuck.  Saugatuck was incorporated as a village in 1868.
