History

The area was first mapped in 1874 as a stop along the Pere Marquette Railway. It was originally called Mason Center, as it was in the center of the county. It was later renamed Sweetland, after James Sweetland, who built a sawmill there in 1878. Hiram Scott platted the land in 1882, and won the right to rename the settlement as Scottville after winning a coin toss. Scottville was incorporated as a village in 1889 and as a city in 1907.

On July 23, 2007 Governor Jennifer Granholm announced Scottville as the community chosen by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) to take part in the Cool Cities Michigan Main Street program. Scottville will receive five years of intensive technical assistance through MSHDA, to help create opportunities for new development, economic growth and jobs. A similar award, the Blueprints for Downtowns award, were announced to be received by the communities of Caro, Clio and Ypsilanti.
