The recorded history of Ann Arbor in the U.S. state of Michigan, began with settlers from various eastern states in early 1824. ==Founding== The original founders were John Allen from Virginia and Elisha Rumsey from New York. On May 25, 1824, the town plat was registered with Wayne County as "Annarbour"; this represents the earliest known use of the town's name. Their wives' names were both Ann (in the latter case, either Ann Rumsey or Ana Rumsey, depending on the text consulted). One account states that Allen and Rumsey decided to name the settlement "Annarbour", for their spouses (after discarding the alternative names Allensville and Anapolis) and for the stands of bur oak in the 640 acres (2.6 km²) of land they had purchased for US$800 from the federal government.〔(Chapter 1 (1824-1859): Ann Arbor/Annarbour - the Naming of Ann Arbor (2003) ). ''Pictorial History of Ann Arbor: 1824-1974'', accessed through the Ann Arbor District Library at moaa.aadl.org/PictHistory/.〕 The Native Americans of the region knew the settlement as ''Kaw-goosh-kaw-nick'', after the sound of Allen's grist mill. Rumsey died in 1827; Allen eventually became the town's postmaster, newspaper publisher, village president, and all-around promoter.
