The Center Avenue Neighborhood Residential District is a residential historic district located in Bay City, Michigan, running primarily along Center Avenue between Monroe and Green Avenues. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]

History

The first sawmill in Bay City was built in 1837; by 1854, a dozen mills were operating; and by 1860, over eight hundred people lived in the city. The city boomed during the next decade, and by 1870, 7000 people lived in Bay City. The influx of people created a housing shortage for rich and poor alike, and wealthy citizens chose to build along Center Avenue. Although the area had first been platted in 1837, development did not occur until the 1870s and 1880s.[2]
