Pipestone Township, Michigan
Pipestone Township is a civil township of Berrien County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 2,312 at the 2010 census. The township was organized on February 16, 1842.
==History==
The first settler in the township was James Kirk, who moved with his family to Niles, Michigan, in 1833 and then established a residence in Pipestone in April 1837. In the fall of 1837, Dr. Morgan Enos moved from Bainbridge Township and settled at a point that became known as "Shanghai Corners", because, according to local history, Dr. Enos was the first to bring Shanghai chickens into the township. Joab Enos, a brother of Dr. Enos, moved into the township in 1838. He and William Boughton laid out a village known first as "Pipestone", and later as "Shanghai". Although only a few lots were sold, a post office was established in the village in 1846, and later there was a store operated by John Garrow.〔Coolidge, Orville W. (1906). (''A Twentieth Century History of Berrien County Michigan'' ), pp. 249-50. The Lewis Publishing Company.〕
The word "pipestone" refers to a red stone, known today as catlinite, which is used to make the bowls of some Indian ceremonial pipes. Pipestone Creek was so named because Native Americans have found material for making pipes along its course. The name was later extended to Pipestone Township.〔Vogel, Virgil J. (1986). (''Indian Names in Michigan'' ), p. 96. University of Michigan Press.〕
