History
M-100 was created in 1925 when M-16 was rerouted directly between Lansing and Eagle. M-100 started at M-39 in Grand Ledge and ran north to M-16 in Eagle. The highway was extended southward in 1932 to end at US 27/M-78 in Potterville. The northern end was extended to meet the US 16 (now I-96) freeway in 1958. The south was similarly extended in 1991 with the completion of the I-69/US 27 freeway south of Potterville.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Regarding History as the slaughter-bench at which the happiness of peoples, the wisdom of States, and the virtue of individuals have been victimized—the question involuntarily arises—to what principle, to what final aim these enormous sacrifices have been offered.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
