History

Traverse City is named after the Grand Traverse Bay, which the city heads. The bay was in turn named "Le Grande Traverse" by French voyagers that explored the region in the 18th century.

In 1847, Captain Boardman of Naperville, Illinois, purchased the land at the mouth of the Boardman River at the head of the west arm of the bay. DeMarey Insurance Agency, Inc.
