Kalamazoo ( KAL-ษ-mษ-ZOO) is a city in the southwest region of the U.S. state of Michigan. It is the county seat of Kalamazoo County. At the 2010 census, Kalamazoo had a population of 74,262. Kalamazoo is the major city of the Kalamazoo-Portage Metropolitan Statistical Area, which had a population of 335,340 in 2015.
One of Kalamazoo’s most notable features is the Kalamazoo Mall, an outdoor pedestrian shopping mall. The city created the mall in 1959 by closing share of Burdick Street to auto traffic, although two of the mall’s four blocks have been reopened to auto traffic before 1999. Kalamazoo is house to Western Michigan University, a large public university, Kalamazoo College, a private liberal arts college, and Kalamazoo Valley Community College, a two-year community college.
Originally known as Bronson (after founder Titus Bronson) in the township of Arcadia, the names of both the city and the township were distorted to “Kalamazoo” in 1836 and 1837, respectively. The name โKalamazooโ comes from a Potawatomi word, first found in a British savings account in 1772. The Kalamazoo River, which passes through the highly developed city of Kalamazoo, was located upon the route in the midst of Detroit and Fort Saint-Joseph (nowadays Niles, Michigan). French-Canadian traders, missionaries, and military personnel were quite au fait with this Place during the French era and thereafter. The Kalamazoo River was then known by Canadians and French as La riviรจre Kikanamaso. The name “Kikanamaso” was moreover recorded by Father Pierre Potier, a Jesuit missionary for the Huron-Wendats at the Assumption mission (south shore of Detroit), while en route to Fort Saint-Joseph during the slip of 1760. Legend has it that “Ki-ka-ma-sung”, meaning “boiling water”, referred to a footrace held each fall by local Native Americans, in which participants had to control to the river and support before a pot boiled. The word negikanamazo, purported to mean “otter tail” or “stones in the expose of otters”, has after that been cited as a reachable origin of the name. Another theory is that it means “the mirage or reflecting river”. Another legend is that the image of “boiling water” referred to fog on the river as seen from the hills above the current downtown. The publish was also supreme to the river that flows almost whatever the artifice across the state.
