In 1837, when state leaders selected a small township nestled at the confluence of the Grand and Red Cedar Rivers as the state capital, fewer than 10 registered voters lived here. Lansing, located in the south central part of the Lower Peninsula where the Grand River meets the Red Cedar River, was not incorporated as a city until 1859. The original state capital was in Detroit; however, due to Detroit's close proximity to Canada (then a province of Great Britain), the Michigan legislature wanted to move all governmental offices to a location in the center of the state. Their choice was Lansing Township.
