Saint Joseph is a port on Lake Michigan, at the mouth of the St. Joseph River, opposite Benton Harbor. The French explorer René-Robert Cavelier, sieur (lord) de La Salle, established Fort Miami at the site in 1679, using it as a base (commemorated by a historic site). Later known as Saranac and Newburyport, it was renamed (1833) for the river. It developed after 1836 with improved harbour facilities and the opening of the Territorial Road from Detroit. Its northeastern portion was separately incorporated as Benton Harbor in 1869.
