History of Williamston, Michigan : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Williamston, Michigan The following article describes the history of the city of Williamston, Michigan, located in Ingham County. ==Before Written History== The area that was later to become Williamston was the 'summer home' of a group of Chippewa people (a band among the Ottawa tribe). This land was used by them for planting what few crops they needed, holding an annual 'spring gathering' of related bands of the tribe, and burying the dead. The most famous native American resident was Okemos, whose name survives as a postal address in nearby Meridian Township. Okemos ("Little Chief" or chief of subordinate authority—it is unclear if his name was meant to reference his stature—he was described as short by many contemporaries—or his authority—he had few if any directly subordinate tribesmen) had a relatively well-documented life. An ally of the British in the War of 1812, he was so badly wounded during an attack on a U.S. Cavalry unit near Sandusky that he bore a four- or five-inch-long scar from a saber on his left forehead the rest of his life. (See for example, Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society Collection, Vol. XXVII. Indian Funeral Scene. M. D. Chatterson. Lansing, MI: Robert Smith Printing Co., State Printers and Binders, 1897 for more detail.)
