Brief History:
Birch Run was originally founded as a
station on the Pere Marquette Railroad by John Moore, its first
postmaster, in 1852. It was named after its creek, which
runs through a large birch area. In 1863, the town was
renamed Deer Lick and remained so until 1868 when it reverted
back to Birch Run. Birch Run was incorporated as a village
in 1955.
