The county, established in 1829 and named after Michigan Territorial Governor Lewis Cass, developed rapidly through farming and industrial ventures like the Dowagiac Creek carding mill.
The region attracted numerous Black families after 1840, supported by Quaker communities who offered land and established a strong foundation for diversity.
