Muskegon, MI is the largest city on the western shores of Lake Michigan. More than 20% of the city is water. It is bounded to the north by the Muskegon Lake. The two lakes are joined by a channel. The city's name is derived from the Ottawa description of the area, and means marshy river or swamp. In 1837 it was officially settled. The timber resources gave rise to a thriving lumber industry and attracted many German, Irish and Canadian settlers. The rich heritage on land and in the water has earned the city several entries on the National Heritage Registers.
