People and Businesses of Sturgis |
Even though the town of Sturgis was not founded until 1883-1884, the town's roots can be seen in the earlier community of Whitefield and some of the other smaller settlements in the area as early as 1833-1835. The present-day town of Sturgis was incorporated in 1902 with J.G. Bevill as its first mayor. Most of the businesses listed below are from the 1900 to 1960 timeframe. Hopefully, with your help, we can make this a complete list. In addition to the businesses below, I also have a bit of history on each. I hope to eventually tie each business to its own description, such as who owned it, the timeframe of the business and where it was located. If anyone has any ideas, comments, corrections, or additions, please do let me know. Also, if you would like to share your thoughts on Sturgis, its people and businesses, please add them in the guestbook below.
