## History[edit]

Red Park was established in the early 1900s by a man named Davis as a summer resort colony for people in Manistee, Michigan. The original resort consisted of a small store operated by Mr. and Mrs. James Sandenberg, the only permanent residents, who also acted as the caretaker of the collection of small summer cottages. A bandstand was built in the center of the resort, before 1910.
