East Lansing is located just east of Lansing, Michigan's state capital. The city is mostly within the boundaries of Ingham County, although a small portion is in Clinton County. Best known as the home of Michigan State University, East Lansing was settled around 1847, at the same time that Lansing was made the capital of the state, and MSU was founded a few years later. When the town was incorporated, the townspeople had proposed the name "College Park" but the legislature changed it.
