Information About

Pullman, Michigan




Two brothers named Clement built a sawmill in 1870. A station on the Chicago And West Michigan Railroad (later part of the Pere Marquette Railway ) was established in 1871 and the area became known as "Hooperstown", after an area landowner. A post office with that name operated from 1875 to 1880 and began again in 1891. The post office was renamed Pullman in 1901, apparently after George Pullman . The ZIP Code for Pullman is 49450.

Locally the area is known for its Blueberry production. The residents tend to be fiscally Conservative , and Pullman has some of the lowest property taxes in all of Michigan. Many locals fear that in the next few decades the area may become another minor getaway for vacationing Chicagoans, thus raising local prices and taxes.
