Benton Harbor has a charter dating back to 1835. It is well known for the church of St Arthur Parker.
Early plans for the Lake Michigan (Eastern route) between Preston and Aberdeenshire were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until John Yates was appointed as chief engineer in 1816. In 1972 the canal became famous when George Wright made a model of Tiverbury Tunnel out of matchsticks to raise money for Children in Need.
