Mason, Michigan Relocation Guide

Mason is a quaint and charming old fashioned city with the Ingham County Court House taking up the center block town square. The downtown business district surrounds the Court House. There are other numerous County offices located here including the Ingham County Sheriff Department. Mason is also host to the Ingham County Fairgrounds one week each year with many other scheduled activities throughout the year at this facility. The northwest section of Mason continues to attract new commercial growth that stretches toward Holt and south Lansing. Mason hosts a large antique mall and is home to Spartan Speedway with weekly stock car races on Friday nights. Mason is also home grounds for the National Trap Shooting Association and minutes from the Dansville State Game Area. Mason is surrounded by rural agricultural land.

Mason is located in central Ingham county a few miles from the state capital in Lansing and serves as the county seat. Mason is the only county seat city in the United States located in the county containing the state capital that does not also serve as the capital city. The city was first settled in the 1840's and was incorporated as a city in 1865. The downtown square is the focal point of the distinctive historic charm and character of our community. The majestic county courthouse, constructed in 1903 and recently renovated, provides the centerpiece for the historic architecture of downtown. The prominent clock tower atop the courthouse is a beacon to the heart of our unique community.

Mason is a growing town of 7,200 people located minutes from Lansing and East Lansing, home of Michigan State University. The agricultural setting surrounding the city is an attractive buffer from nearby urban areas. Quiet neighborhoods, a historic downtown, rural charm, affordable homes, a strong sense of community pride, a high-quality school system and convenient access to the Lansing, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, and Detroit metropolitan areas are a few of the attributes that make Mason a great place to live and work.
