Originally a lumber town and port, Saugatuck, along with the adjacent city of Douglas, became a noted art colony and tourist destination in the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th century. In the early 20th century, Saugatuck was home to the famous Big Pavilion, a large dance hall that attracted bands and visitors from across the Midwest. The building was a popular destination on Lake Michigan from its construction in 1909 until it burned down on May 6, 1960.〔Hilton, George W. (2002). (''Lake Michigan Passenger Steamers'' ), p. 239.

Today, tourists are drawn to the art galleries, harbor, marinas, scenery, unusual stores, the view from atop Mount Baldhead, and tourist attractions as well as Oval Beach on Lake Michigan, which enjoys a worldwide reputation.〔(Great American Beach Towns ), by Sarah Tuff, concierge.com〕 Nearby are Saugatuck Dunes State Park and Allegan State Game Area as is the city of Holland.
==History==
William C. Butler was an original founder of "Kalamazoo village", as it was at first known. He bought land and had a village plat laid out in 1833. In 1836 the legislature gave Kalamazoo, formerly known as Bronson in honor of Titus Bronson, its current name. The first postmaster suggested the name of Saugatuck for the post office, and this name was taken when Saugatuck was incorporated as a village in 1868.〔Thomas, Henry F. (1907). (''A Twentieth Century History of Allegan County, Michigan'' ), pp. 124-25. The Lewis Publishing Company.〕
