This county
was
named in honor of
General De
Kalb, a Revolutionary officer of German descent, who was killed in the
battle of Camden. The surface of the county is gently undulating, and,
with the exception of some low, wet lands, was originally covered with
timber. The St. Joseph runs about twelve miles through the southeast
corner of the county, while the other portions are well watered by
Cedar creek and its tributary streams. The timber is of an excellent
quality, and the soil cannot be excelled by any land in the State. It
is being extensively cultivated, with good results for the husbandman.
The
county is divided into nine townships, Union being the
centre, in which is located Auburn, the county seat, a small but
thrifty town. It is located on the Fort Wayne, Jackson &
Saginaw
railroad. The county is young, but in a very flourishing condition.
