Title
Eaton County Democratic Party
Description
The modern day Democratic party was actually born in 1792 as the "Democratic-Republican Party" with the presidency of Thomas Jefferson. And while the name was rightfully shortened to the "Democratic Party" in the following century as Andrew Jackson became "the man of the people," the philosophy remains the same, progressive politics and visionary leadership that focus on ensuring opportunity and prosperity for all Americans.
When the State of Michigan was admitted to the Union in 1837, an act was passed by the Michigan Legislature that completed the organization of Eaton County. Counties that organized at the same time as Eaton County were named for members of President Andrew Jackson's Cabinet and were commonly referred to as "Cabinet Counties." Eaton was named in honor of John Eaton, President Jackson's Secretary of War.
In 1833, Governor Porter appointed three commissioners to locate the seat of justice for Eaton County. They selected the beautiful prairie near the center of the County and one mile north of the Battle Creek river. Near the center of the prairie stood a large poplar tree. The Commissioners "squared" this tree and with red chalk wrote the words "County Site." It was thus that Charlotte, then known as Eaton Centre, became the County Seat of Eaton County.
