Sturgis is called the Gateway to Michigan because it was the first town to welcome the Southern locomotives to the state. Today, the word “gateway” has a whole new meaning: it is a place that welcomes you and so many others to a new and revitalizing life where great opportunities are found!

Sturgis was named after Judge John Sturgis, a man who moved to the area from Monroe and set up a modest log cabin and began a new life. The life-sustaining St. Joseph’s River nearby made the area ideal for industry and fishing and is still enjoyed by all who come take part in the many water activities found among the hinterland in Sturgis.

Today, Sturgis is the biggest town in the county with a strong economy welcoming several new businesses to add to the existing companies who specialize in plastics injection molding, auto-parts manufacturing, tool and die, hospital dietary products, and metal fabrication.
