Grand Haven Live Cam

Grand Haven is a city located in the state of Michigan, USA, situated on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan at the mouth of the Grand River. The history of Grand Haven is closely tied to its location on the banks of the Grand River and its proximity to Lake Michigan, which has shaped the development of the city over the years.

The area that is now Grand Haven was first inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Ottawa and Potawatomi people. In the 17th century, French explorers and traders arrived in the region, establishing trade relationships with the local tribes. The first permanent European settlement in the area was established by a group of French-Canadian traders in the 1820s, who built a trading post and named it Grand Haven.
