History

The town was renamed Saginaw in 1882 by Jarvis J. Green (after his first choice of “Pontiac” was rejected by the United States Postal Service), who had lived and worked on Saginaw Street in Pontiac, Michigan. The name Saginaw comes from the Ojibwe language and means “to flow out.” It is also the name of a river, a bay, and a city in Michigan.

On March 13, 1989, Evergreen International Airlines Flight 17 crashed near Saginaw, killing both pilots (the aircraft’s only occupants) on board.
