A short history of Goodrich

John Goodrich traveled via steam ship from Buffalo, New York to Detroit to settle after they had sold their home in the summer of 1835. They journeyed from Detroit towards modern-day Pontiac, where they met land explorers who told them of the land's beauty. When they reached the vicinity of Davison's Mill (now Atlas), they found rich, fertile soil, an excess of timber, and readily available water. They returned to Detroit and purchased one thousand acres (4 km2) at $1.25 per acre. They returned to their old home in Clarence, New York and prepared to return to their purchased property. It was decided that John Goodrich would travel back via Canada. They completed their journey in 16 days, and built a cabin before the family arrived on May 20, 1836. The first wood-frame house was built for John Goodrich in 1838.

The first tavern, The Goodrich House, was built in 1866 by a Mr. Matthew Davidson. This was a popular spot for trading and salesman. In over one hundred years, there were several owners. The house fell victim to a fire in 2009 and was subsequently torn down.
