'''Bloomingdale''' is a village in [[Van Buren County, Michigan|Van Buren County]] in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Michigan]]. The population was 454 at the [[2010 United States Census|2010 census]]. The village is located within [[Bloomingdale Township, Michigan|Bloomingdale Township]] and is the township seat.

In the 1930s oil was discovered within the village limits, but pumping has now ceased due to lack of oil. Bloomingdale was thought to be a rising city but when the oil ceased so did the attraction.

Bloomingdale is considered the midpoint on the [[Kal-Haven Trail]], which runs directly through the main four corners and business district. The downtown Augustus Haven Park with its Depot Museum is a picnic stop for trail users.

==History==
Bloomingdale was founded in 1855.  A post office was established in 1856.  The small town was platted in 1870 and incorporated as a village in 1881.{{sfn|Romig|1986|page=67}}
