History of Rosebush Village
Rosebush started in 1844 when a man named Cornelius Bogan opened a general store. He first called the town Halfway. This was because it was about halfway between the towns of Clare and Mount Pleasant.
How Rosebush Got Its Name
In 1868, the Ann Arbor Railroad built tracks through the area. A resident named James Bush owned land there. When he officially mapped out the land for the town, he made a deal with the railroad. He gave them some of his property. In return, the train station was named after his wife, Rose.
Changes to the Village Name
Later, in 1873, another part of the community was mapped out by Elias B. Calkins. This new area was called Calkinsville. The first post office, opened on July 9, 1873, also used the name Calkinsville. The post office name changed to Rosebush in 1889. Then it changed back to Calkinsville in 1890. Finally, on February 19, 1903, it became Rosebush again. The name has stayed Rosebush ever since.
