Battle Creek: Where Breakfast Cereal Was Born
The Kellogg Company was founded in Battle Creek in 1906, and the company's cereal operations defined the city for more than a century. W.K. Kellogg's fortune also funded the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, which remains headquartered downtown and is one of the largest philanthropic organizations in the United States. Post Consumer Brands also has roots in Battle Creek, where C.W. Post launched his cereal company in 1895.
Fort Custer, originally a World War I training camp, evolved into the Fort Custer Training Center for the Michigan National Guard and the Federal Center, which houses Defense Logistics Agency and other federal offices. The military and federal presence provides a stable employment base independent of the food industry.
The Battle Creek River and Kalamazoo River meet near downtown. The Linear Park trail system follows the rivers through the city. Leila Arboretum covers 72 acres on the west side and includes botanical gardens. Binder Park Zoo, south of the city, is a regional attraction.
Battle Creek's population has hovered around 51,000 for years. The city has struggled with the same deindustrialization challenges as many mid-Michigan communities but benefits from a more diversified economic base than single-industry towns.
