Grand
Ledge, the only one in the world, is a warm, friendly community
of just over 7,200 located at the junction of M-43 and M-100.Lansing
andEast Lansing are just minutes east on I-496, and Grand Rapids
is an hour west on I-96.
Picturesquely
situated on the Grand River, Grand Ledge got its name from the Grand River and the sandstone ledges that tower like sentinels along its
banks as it winds along its banks through the city. First settled
in the late 1830's, the city received its name and first post office
in 1850 and was incorporated in 1871.
The ledges are
composed of Eaton Sandstone deposited 250 million years ago. Mostly
of quartz grains cemented to iron oxide, they are one of the most
geologically significant areas in lower Michigan.
Grand Ledge
is host to six wonderful festivals every year, including Yankee
Doodle Days, The Island Art Fair, Victorian Days, St Patrick's Day,
Memorial Day, and every autumn The Color Cruise & Island Festival!
