Life in Saginaw

Saginaw, Michigan is a city in Saginaw County. It is the county seat. As of 2009, it has a population of about 55,000, down from nearly 62,000 in the year 2000.

The area now called Saginaw was inhabited by Native Americans for thousands of years before the arrival of European settlers. French traders and missionaries were the first Europeans to explore the area, arriving in the 1600s. The first permanent non-native settlement was established in 1815, and, like many early settlements in the region, served as a trading post.

Unfortunately, Saginaw has not been spared the economic hardship that has befallen much of the Midwest in recent decades. It has a high crime rate, and nearly 30% of the population lives below the poverty line.

Nonetheless, Saginaw is still a vibrant community, populated by thousands of people who love it. This shows in its locally-owned businesses to which customers are fiercely loyal, and entertainment venues featuring local artists.

Saginaw, Michigan also has a legal community that should be able to help a resident of the area with virtually any legal issue they're likely to face. If you live in Saginaw, Michigan and need legal advice, you should contact a Saginaw, Michigan attorney quickly.
