Saginaw (Ojibwa: sa gi na ng; "land of the Sauk") is a city and seat of Saginaw County in central lower Michigan. Founded as a fur-trading post on the eastern bank of the Saginaw River, the city grew into a lumbering center before deversifying into agriculture and auto parts manufacturing. Government mismanagement, and the loss of manufacturing jobs during the past two decades - as well as an increase in crime [1]- led to a significant loss of Saginaw's population.
