History :

In 1831, settler John Vickers built a grist mill on the falls of Portage Creek located in the southwestern part of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Since then, the approximately 3 square mile community experimented with names such as Holland, Lincoln, and Brady. However, in 1871 the community was incorporated as a village and named Vicksburg after its founder, John Vickers. Vicksburg is located approximately 15 miles south of Kalamazoo and boasts beautiful Sunset Lake near the center of the village for residents and visitors to enjoy.
