History
There was a place in this area known as Plummer’s Pier. In 1856 lumbermen founded Charlotteville in this area.
Bridgman itself begins with the village of that name platted by George C. Bridgman in 1870. It was centered on a railroad station opened that year.
The Bridgman post office, with ZIP code 49106 opened with the name “Laketon” on November 11, 1862. The name changed to Bridgman on April 9, 1874. Bridgman later expanded by annexing the area that had previously been Charlotteville. The town is famous for being the location of the 1922 Bridgman Convention, a clandestine communist planning meeting in 1922 that was broken up by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and local authorities.
