Buchanan, Michigan, a little more ...

Buchanan is a city in Berrien County. The city is located at the southeast corner of Buchanan Township, about 5 miles west of Niles.

The St. Joseph River was once a major transportation route for Native American tribes in the area, especially the Potawatomi. The City of Buchanan was settled in 1833 at the spot where McCoy Creek met the St. Joseph River.

Historically, Buchanan was known as the headquarters for Clark Equipment Corp., a manufacturer of heavy machinery such as fork lift trucks; and Electro-Voice, a manufacturer of high quality audio equipment such as microphones.
