Shelby, Michigan

Photos courtesy of: Ken Huisjen	Shelby is located in west/central Oceana County and easily accessed from US-31, which runs a mile west of town. Shelby�s economy is supported by tourism, local stores and businesses, many of which are located in a newly formed industrial park located to the north of town. Shelby is also located on the Hart-to-Montague Bicycle Trail, a popular attraction and one of the first of its kind in the state. Surrounding agriculture also plays a significant role, as Shelby is located in the middle of a rich fruit belt especially known for apples. Shelby was originally established as Churchill�s Corners in 1866, named after Walter H. Churchill who was the first postmaster. It was renamed Shelby in 1885 when it was incorporated as a village - after General Isaac Shelby, who along with his famous Kentucky Rangers, took back Detroit from the British in the War of 1812.
