Coldwater, the county seat of Branch County, is located at the junction of US-27 and US-12. This city reflects a careful balance of past and present, featuring a preservation of some of the finest turn-of-the-century architecture anywhere in the county, amidst a growing economy and contemporary development. Coldwater’s diverse economic base includes everything from the production of metal products, wood furniture, play equipment and store fixtures to medical, social and community services. Tourism and cultural activities, including the famous Tibbits Opera House, also play an important role.

Coldwater was first settled in 1830 by Allen Tibbits and Joseph Hanchett. In 1833, it officially received its name, after the township, which was named for the river running through it. In 1861, a Light Artillery Battery from Coldwater, led by Commander Cyrus Loomis went to fight for the Union, going on to become one of the most renowned Regiments in the Civil War. (Some of their ten-pounder Parrott cannons can be seen downtown just across from the old Library). In 1874, a state school for dependent and neglected children was built here, later to become a regional center for development disabilities. Since its incorporation as a city in 1861, Coldwater has been on the grow and continues to be a significant contributor to Michigan.
