Ionia is located in the heart of Ionia County and is the county seat. The town first began in 1831 when settlers led by Samuel Dexter came here from New York and began a settlement on the Grand River. As the community grew, it was platted in 1841 and incorporated as a village in 1865. It eventually organized into a city in 1873.

Today, Ionia is the largest of the cities in the county and has a diverse economy, including auto parts manufacturing, metal fabrication and playing host each July/August to the Ionia County Free Fair, located at the fairgrounds on the Grand River. There are also plenty of small businesses. The downtown area is particularly noted for the preservation of its Victorian style, turn-of-the-century architecture. This makes a great place for shopping or window browsing.
