The Sweet Corn Capitol of Michigan

Canton's loamy soil was a natural draw
to the region's settlers. From 1825 to the 1960s farming was the main vocation in Canton. At first, self-sustaining farms provided the only food and income for a family. By the 1920s, automobiles, tractors and trucks enabled access to the Detroit markets, and Canton farms and dairies became prosperous businesses.
