Zeeland is located in south-central
Ottawa County, about half-way between Grand Rapids and Holland. It
was originally settled by Dutch colonists from Zeeland Province in the
Netherlands: Reverend James Vander Meulen, James Vander Luyster, Jan
Steketes and Christian de Herder, who came here in 1847 are considered
the town fathers. Zeeland grew during the lumber boom in the mid 1800�s,
becoming a station on the Chicago & Western Michigan Railroad, (later
Pere Marquette), in 1849. It was incorporated as a village in 1875 and
later as a city in 1907.
