COUNTY PROFILE
An 1829 act of the Territorial Legislature created Ingham County.Called a “cabinet county,” it bears the name of Samuel D. Ingham,
who was Secretary of the Treasury under President Jackson at the time.The area was a forest wilderness filled with wide tamarack marshes,
and was very sparsely populated. Because of its dense forest, earlyMichigan settlers tended to avoid Ingham County and settled itsperimeters. The first piece of land purchased and deed recorded was inthe Okemos area in 1832. Settlers moving into the county from the eastand south followed old Indian trails from Jackson, the Dexter-Stockbridgearea and Pontiac. By 1842, all of the present townships of Ingham Countywere organized.
The State Legislature met in Detroit in 1846 to choose a site fora capital for the new State of Michigan. Lawmakers presented billsproposing many localities. Each, of course, favored his own district asa site. Lansing Township was a surprising compromise made by thelegislators, for the nearest railroad was 40 miles away and there were onlya few trails to the site, which was still a wilderness. The deciding factorsfor Ingham County were its central location and the offer by JamesSeymour of a large tract of land at the bend of the Grand River.
The Capital City was soon carved out of the forest. Travel wasfacilitated by the construction of a plank road from Detroit to Lansing.This toll road, financed with federal funds, was completed in 1860 andgave force to the large number of new Michigan settlers that poured intothe region. The seat of Ingham County government was established inMason, which is centrally located, fulfilling the requirement of the timethat the county seat be no more than a day’s travel from any location inthe county.
The Lansing area grew gradually over the years, with industry andthe educational facilities of a land-grant college contributing to itsexpansion. The remainder of the county developed into an agriculturalarea, much of which remains at the present time. The spread of suburbanliving has recently cut somewhat into these rural areas.
Ingham County covers an area of 550 square miles and includes thegovernmental units shown in Table 1.

THE COURTHOUSE HISTORY
THE FIRST COURTHOUSE
Built in 1843, at a cost of $800, Ingham Coun ty’s first courthouse wasa structure to which her citizens pointed with pride. It stood on the
south side of Ash Street, opposite the present County Building. Herethe first settlers held their sessions of Court and transacted businessmatters; here they gathered for political rallies and other public meetings;and here, on Sunday, the early churches of Mason gathered for divineworship. Around this two-story frame building centered the activities ofthe little pioneer county seat, until the needs of a rapidly growing countymade a larger courthouse necessary.
THE SECOND COURTHOUSELess than 15 years after Ingham County became the proud owner
of the first courthouse, rapid growth demanded a much larger andmore complete building. In 1858, an imposing brick structure, whichcost the taxpayers $12,229.19, gracing the public square of Masonwas constructed. Built in the prevailing style of the period, its first floorboasted a wide hallway extending through the building from whichopened the county offices. The second floor was occupied by the circuitcourtroom. Trees were planted and the square graded and fenced withfunds contributed by Mason citizens. Watering troughs at the two frontcorners of the block, an artesian well and bandstand in the front yard, acroquet ground at the side and a large woodshed at the rear completedthe surroundings of the building which served the county, thoughsomewhat inadequately at the last, for 45 years.

The first Ingham County Courthouse, used from 1843–1857,now stands at 721 S. Jefferson Street.
THE COURTHOUSE HISTORY
THE PRESENT BUILDINGBefore the turn of the century, Ingham County again needed
additional space and the question arose, “Shall we enlarge our presentbuilding, or build a new one?” When presented to the voters, the latterplan was chosen and during the years 1902 and 1904, the presentbuilding was erected and equipped at a cost of $76,000. Early in 1904,the offices were ready and 12 people, including the personnel of theAbstract and Mutual Insurance Companies, and the janitor, occupiedthe building. Beginning in the early 1980’s, attention was focused onrestoring this historic structure. The walls and roof were restored between1980 and 1984, with interior renovation of the third floor following in1986. The remainder of the interior was completely refurbished between1992 and 1994, at the same time that the former Hilliard Building acrossthe street was replaced with a new structure. Over this 15-year period,more than $10 million was spent on the Courthouse Square, includingthe Courthouse and Hilliard Building. The final phase, completed in 1996,involved repair and repainting of the Courthouse dome.
