Scottville is located on the Pere Marquette River in western Mason County at the junction of northbound US-31 and US-10. This city is known for its famous clown band, which plays at events in many cities every year. Scottville�s economy is supported by agriculture and tourism. The Pere Marquette River runs through city park on the south side of town, a good place for camping, canoing and summer fun, including the Annual Rubber Ducky race in July.

Scottville�s recorded history began in 1874 when the town was mapped as a station on the Pere Marquette Railroad. It was first called Mason Center because of its location in the county. Later, it was renamed Sweetland, after James Sweetland, who built a sawmill here in 1878. Sweetland sold the mill a year later to Hiram Scott. Scott officially platted the land in 1882 and named it after himself. It was incorporated as a village in 1889 and as a city in 1907.
