The men after whom Allegan's downtown streets were named - Elisha Ely, Samuel Hubbard, Charles Christopher Trowbridge, Pliny Cutler, and Edmund Monroe - patented land in the area in 1833. The bridge fell into disrepair and was going to be removed until a group of activists raised the money to restore the bridge in 1983. As of the United States 2000 Census census, the city population was 4,838. Now a highlight of Allegan, the one-lane bridge is used in the city logo and is considered an important part of the city.
