On April 14, 1884, the founders of this City convened the first meeting of the City of Kalamazoo at 8:30pm.
On Tuesday, April 14, 2009, we commemorated this monumental landmark in our history by planting a tree in the South Courtyard of City Hall. Our year-long celebration will culminate with the dedication of the South Courtyard and setting of a marker to commemorate 125 Years of City Service.
During this year-long celebration, we will honor the legacy and accomplishments of a pioneering community of workers, leaders and residents at various events throughout the City.
