Although a relatively small town at the time, Lansing was selected as a more favorable alternative to Detroit to become Michigan's capital in 1847. The city is centrally located in the state, with close close proximity to Detroit and the West side the State. By 1859, the small community had grown to a few thousand and was incorporated as a the City of Lansing. From there, Lansing grew consistantly over the subsquest decades with milestones including the completion of railroads through the city and in 1879, the building of the state capitol building. Lansing later became a industrial force beginning with the founding of the Oldsmobile Motor Company in 1897. Subsequent decades saw the city transform into a significant American industrial center for the design and manufacturing of cars and parts as well as other industries.
