Editing Rosebush, Michigan (section)

==History==
Rosebush began in 1844 when Cornelius Bogan started a general store. He called the town ''Halfway'' because it was approximately halfway between [[Clare, Michigan|Clare]] and [[Mount Pleasant, Michigan|Mount Pleasant]]. In 1868, the [[Ann Arbor Railroad (1895–1976)|Ann Arbor Railroad]] came through the area and resident James Bush, while officially platting the land, bartered with the railroad some of his property for the right to have the station named after his wife, Rose. An addition to the community was later [[plat]]ted in 1873 by Elias B. Calkins and named ''Calkinsville'' – this was the name of the original post office on July 9, 1873. The post office name was changed to Rosebush in 1889, back to Calkinsville in 1890 and once again Rosebush on February 19, 1903. The name has remained unchanged since.<ref>{{cite book |first1=Walter |last1=Romig |title=Michigan Place Names: The History of the Founding and the Naming of More Than Five Thousand Past and Present Michigan Communities  |type=Paperback  |orig-date= 1973 |date=October 1, 1986 |publisher=[[Wayne State University Press]] |isbn = 978-0-8143-1838-6 |location=Detroit, Michigan| page=484}}</ref>
