Here is a little history of Birmingham. The formal settlement of the area now known as Birmingham started about 180 years ago. Which is like a baby compared to some of the old towns in Massachusetts. The pioneer story of this small Michigan community began when four men purchased the first piece of land totaling up to 640 acres. Birmingham founders did not do the traditional farming land, they started a manufacturer based local economy, which included Foundries, tanneries, blacksmith shops, broom and brick making factories.
