==History==
The earliest modern residents of the Flat River and Grand River were the Grand River Odawa, who established several villages along the Grand River. In the first decades of the 19th century, the village was led by [[Wabiwindego]] and [[Keewaycooshcum]], and later by [[Cobmoosa]].<ref>{{cite magazine |last = Hartz |first = Bennett |date = July 1, 2019 |title = Wabaningo: An Odawa Leader and Legend |url = https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Wabaningo%3A+An+Ottawa+Leader+and+Legend.-a0592240736 |magazine = Michigan History |location = Lansing, MI |publisher = Historical Society of Michigan |access-date = July 9, 2021}}</ref> In the 1830s, Cobmoosa purchased the land under the Odawa village in the name of his father, fur trader [[Campau family|Antoine Campau]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=McClurken|first=James M.|title=Our People, Our Journey: The Little River Band of Odawa Indians|publisher=Michigan State University Press|year=2009|isbn=9780870138560|location=East Lansing, MI|pages=38}}</ref> The Odawa remained at their village on the Flat River until 1858, when they moved to a reservation at [[Manistee, Michigan]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Romig|first=Walter|title=Michigan Place Names: The History of the Founding and the Naming of More Than Five Thousand Past and Present Michigan Communities|publisher=Wayne State University Press|year=1986|isbn=9780814318386|location=Detroit|pages=123}}</ref>

The modern city of Lowell was founded in 1831 by Daniel Marsac as a trading post with this existing Odawa village, built on the south bank of the [[Grand River (Michigan)|Grand River]].<ref name="auto">{{cite book |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date = 1912 |title = Collections and Researches Made by the Pioneer and Historical Society of the State of Michigan |url = https://archive.org/details/michiganhistoric38michuoft/page/60/mode/2up?view=theater |location = Lansing, MI |publisher = Wynkoop Hallenbeck Crawford Company |page = 60 |isbn= 9780282377953}}</ref>  During the first years of his trading post, Marsac lived with the Grand River Odawa leader Wabiwindego.<ref name="auto"/>  In 1847, he purchased land on the north side of the river and [[plat]]ted it as "Dansville".
