J.R. Monroe, founder of South Haven, was granted a land patent from the U. S. government in 1833 for 65 acres of land along Lake Michigan's shore. The village that he had planned did not develop so he moved on. South Haven has grown rapidly since it began due to the lumber industry. The town has become a popular year round resort destination.
