История
[ редактировать ]
Гурон был основан во время железной дороги и земельных бум в 1880 -х годах. Ранняя история города тесно связана с Чикаго и Северо -Западной железной дорогой . В направлении Марвина Хьюитта , генерального менеджера железной дороги, Западный берег реки Джеймс был выбран в качестве штаб -квартиры дивизии железной дороги. Компания получила право собственности на 880 акров (3,6 км 2 ) земли в этом месте. Гурон был назван в честь индейцев Гурона. [ 10 ]
The original plat covered 11 blocks, and Huron's first settler was John Cain, a practical printer from Troy, New York. He learned in Chicago, from the railroad people, that they would have their chief town and operating headquarters at their James River crossing.[citation needed]
Beginning in 1880, Huron and Pierre vied to be selected as the state capital, until Pierre was chosen in 1904. Campbell Park and Winter Park in Huron were previously designated as properties for the capital grounds, and a city block of land between the parks with Victorian houses was originally slated for the capitol building.[11]
