The St. Joseph River was once a major transportation route for Native American tribes in the area, especially the Potawatomi, and a historical marker to that effect has been placed on Moccasin Trail north of Buchanan near Batchelor's Island. The City of Buchanan was settled in 1833 at the spot where McCoy Creek met the St. Joseph River. Buchanan was historically known as the headquarters for Clark Equipment Corp., a manufacturer of truck axles, fork lift trucks, front-end loaders, and other heavy machinery, until that company left the area in the 1990s. This departure forced the city to diversify and a number of smaller businesses took over the buildings Clark essentially donated to the city. Electro-Voice, a manufacturer of high quality audio equipment such as microphones, amplifiers and loudspeakers. was also headquartered in Buchanan. Soon after being purchased by Telex Communications, Inc., Electro-Voice's management left Buchanan. Several years later, in 2002, the remaining Electo-Voice manufacturing plant closedhttp://www.wndu.com/news/112001/news_10658.php. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchanan%2C_Michigan
