Niles, Historical city in southwestern Michigan, United States.
Niles extends across 5.95 square miles of land with rolling hills and steep riverbanks along the St. Joseph River near the Indiana border.
The French established Fort St. Joseph in 1697 to protect their mission, and the site was later controlled by British forces until 1763.
The Fort St. Joseph Museum displays artifacts and educational exhibits that document the settlement of four nations: France, Britain, Spain, and the United States.
The Amtrak station in Niles connects passengers to Chicago through the Blue Water and Wolverine rail services throughout the year.
Between 1820 and 1865, the city functioned as a route on the Underground Railroad, helping enslaved people reach freedom in Canada.
