There is no sign marking Michigan Corners (except for a Michigan Corners Deli nearby), although it does appear on local maps. According to legend, the hamlet got its name when a local man named Malcolm McLaughlin found himself in debt and skipped town around 1825. He was away for some time, and when he returned he told everyone he had gone to Michigan. McLaughlin later opened a tavern at this place, and his neighbors referred to his establishment as "Michigan". Soon the name of the tavern was applied to that section of the town. 1 EXTERNAL LINKS |
