In this episode I cover the early history of Kalamazoo Michigand the origins of the name Kalamazoo.  The town was originally named Bronson, after the first settler by that name.  In later years the town name was changed to Kalamazoo, after the river.  The area was once well known for celery as a crop, and it is the birthplace of the famous Gibson Guitars and the Checker Cabs, among many other industries.  

These and many other stories are covered in this episode of the city and county with the funny name, Kalamazoo.
