Founded in 1833 as the weekly “Michigan Statesman and St. Joseph Chronicle”, this newspaper, edited by Henry Gilbert, followed the United States Land Office when it moved from White Pigeon to Kalamazoo in 1835. It first appeared as the “Kalamazoo Gazette” on January 23, 1837. On March 26, 1872, under Andrew Shakespeare, it became a daily publication. In 1925, the “Gazette” moved to its present location. It celebrated its 150th anniversary of publication in 1987, the year of Michigan's Sesquicentennial.

Visit Instructions:Take a photo of your GPS at the marker. We'd prefer a photo of you with your GPS, but we realize that sometimes that's just not possible or preferable.
Also include a bit about your visit to the marker.
NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored. (This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still include a bit about your visit to the site.
