This city in south west Michigan is at the confluence of the Kalamazoo and Battle Creek rivers. It was settled in 1831 and by 1837 schools and industry had been established. It is possibly best known for being the home of the Kelloggs brothers who invented the 'corn flake'. Dr JH Kellogg ran the Battle Creek Sanitarium and his brother WK Kellogg, a businessman, promoted the 'corn flake'. He had an egalitarian philosophy and brought reform to working conditions and race relations. He left the bulk of his fortune to the Kellogg Foundation. C.W. Post, also from Battle Creek, invented 'grape nuts'. The city became known as 'Cereal City'.
