log_cabin2.pngThe Village of Elk Rapids had its beginnings in the 1840s when surveyor Abram S. Wadsworth built a cabin here [22]  and became the first permanent settler of the village. In the spring of 1852 he laid out the village of  Stevens, which in 1858 became Elk Rapids, the first town in Antrim County.
