What to Do in Grand Rapids

Grand Rapids is a vigorous manufacturing, cultural and convention center. It owes its development and its name to the rapids of the Grand River, a place of gathering and exchange since Louis Campau established a trading post in 1826. The waterpower and transportation afforded by the river and the abundance of wood from the forests made the growth of the furniture industry almost inevitable. By 1900 the city was renowned as a producer of quality office furniture, a reputation it still maintains.
