Ever Hear Of Fishers Station?

When researching J W Converse I ran across this document.  Knowing that Mr Converse was involved with the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad, which goes through this settlement just confused me more.  Most of his other properties were in the City of Grand Rapids.  I had to find a 1907 plat map to be able to tell just where this was.   There is pretty much nothing in this space now since the expressway and Clay Avenue went through it.




I believe Wyoming Street is now 54th Street, and the only other street left from these maps is Crippen, which now does not extend above 54th Street.

  1. Always wondered where it was.I knew it was on the south side of Grand Rapids but thought it was farther south.In the 1928 Telephone Directory there are listings of residents whose address was Fisher Station.
