Isabelle Township

Permanent settlement of Isabelle township began in 1853 when Adam Brown took government land and the Philip Brothers, in partnership with Charles R. Tyler (a distant relative of President John Tyler) put a steam sawmill at Bay City (then called Saratoga). After Saratoga (Bay City) was abandoned most of the buildings were hauled across the ice on winter and relocated at Warrentown. Mr. Tyler bought the town site by paying $1700.00 in back taxes and renamed it Bay City, he was it's second postmaster with Noble Martin being it's first.

Isabelle also has the dubious distinction of being the scene of the first known murder in Pierce County over the settlement of Bay City. A man by the name of Dexter, who was a squatter in the area was angry at the purchase of the land in the area by a Mr. Morton the he shot and killed the surveyor sent to lay out the town.
