As of the 2010 census, the township population was 1,370.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Rudyard township, Chippewa County, Michigan )〕 == Communities == *Dryburg was a station on the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad. It had a post office from 1903 until 1943.〔Walter Romig, ''Michigan Place Names'', p. 163〕 *Rudyard is an unincorporated community within the township located on M-48, near I-75. The community was originally named "Pine River", however, because there was already another town in Michigan with that name, it was changed in 1890 to Rudyard. The name was suggested by Fred Underhill, an executive with the Soo Line Railroad because of his great admiration for Rudyard Kipling. The ZIP code is 49780. Rudyard Kipling wrote back to Mr. Underhill, in reference to the naming of the towns of Rudyard and Kipling, Michigan, with the following written on the back of a photograph: KIPLING'S MICHIGAN TWINS "Wise is the child who knows his sire" The ancient proverb ran But wiser far the man who knows How, where and when his offspring grows For who the mischief would suppose I've sons in Michigan? Yet am I saved from midnight ills That warp the soul of man They do not make me walk the floor Nor hammer on the doctor's door They deal in wheat and iron-ore My sons in Michigan Oh! Tourist in the Pullman car (By Cook's or Raymond's plan) Forgive a parent's partial view But may be you have children too So let me introduce to you My sons in Michigan 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rudyard Township, Michigan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
