History
Potterville was first settled by Linus and Diana Potter in 1844. Upon Linus' death a few years later, the eldest of his seven children, George Potter, led the family in clearing the land, and eventually building a sawmill and boarding house, which later became a hotel in 1868. Potterville was incorporated as a village in 1881 and later as a city in 1962.
