==History==
Berrien Springs, like Berrien County, is named for John M. Berrien; "Springs" was added after mineral springs were discovered in the area. The village is the site of the earliest settlement in Oronoko Township, and was first known as "Wolf's Prairie" in reference to the 1,000-acre prairie in which it was situated. The site had been a village under the leadership of a Potawatamie man named Wolf.〔Walter Romig, ''Michigan Place Names'', p. 58〕 The first permanent settlers, John Pike and his family, came in 1829.〔Coolidge, Orville W. (1906). (''A Twentieth Century History of Berrien County, Michigan'' ), pp. 198-99. The Lewis Publishing Company.〕
