White Cloud (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781467109741)

Lester Morgan built the first sawmill on the White River in 1868. By 1873, he established the first post office at Morgan Station's railroad depot. Morgan had a four-story building--known as the Morgan Inn--erected on North Street, which was the center of town. Sextus Wilcox and Lester Morgan platted the village of Morgan in July 1874. Wilcox bought out Morgan, and the village's name was changed to White Cloud, which sits in the center of Newaygo County. In 1910, the county seat was moved from Newaygo to White Cloud. With the loss of the railroad depot around 1963, the city structure severely diminished. However, White Cloud is famous for one of the only remaining wooden railroad trestles that is still in use today.
