In 1804 Dr John Warren purchased township 4 Range 4 consisting of 23,040 acres from then Massachusetts at .02 cents an acre or $460.80. He encouraged folks to settle here by giving some land away and building a sawmill. The town of Corinna, named after the Dr's daughter , was incorporated in 1816, making the town 200 years old this year. In 1865-66 the Dexter & Newport RR arrived and the town became a thriving Mill town with woolen textile mills, sawmills, and a door sash & blinds mill. The Eastland Woolen Mill operated from the 1930's to 1997.
