A tiny town in northwestern Michigan, called Rose City, is located in Ogemaw County. Shops are spotted throughout the town, carrying various merchandise, handcrafted items as well as general food. The best part about this city is the beautiful scenery that is visible everywhere.

Allen S. Rose founded this city in 1875, although he called in Churchill. It was later renamed after him, which is how it got its current name. Allen Rose was originally located in New York City but he moved to Michigan. In 1892 when the railroad started to go through the town, it changed many things. It also would lead to the city being incorporated in 1905.

There is a population of around 653 people, with the average age being 44.6 years of age. The main income of the town is from the small businesses as well as manufacturing. The main supporting factories are plastics, auto parts and machinery.

Luckily located under three miles from city limits is this beautiful recreational area. This is comprised of pure wilderness. It is located in a State Forest, which is 4,449 acres.
