The Toughest Town in Michigan: 1883-1900
Smack on the border of Clare and Gladwin counties sits the unassuming village of Meredith. It was a hotbed of the lumber business in the late 1800s and reached a population of 1,800. A post office operated from 1884 until 1895, with Meredith's short existence estimated to be from 1883-1900; once the timber depleted, Meredith's growth came to a halt.
