ABOUT THE AREA
Blue Rapids is located where the Little Blue River and the Big Blue River meet. From 1869-1870 about 50 families from LeRoy, Genesee County, New York traveled West to the present town site and purchased approximately 280 acres with water privileges and secured another 8,000 acres of farm land. When it was determined that the water resource the settlers had purchased could be harnessed to produce horespower for manufacturing; the Blue Rapids Town Company constructed a dam and installed a hydro-electric power plant. The electricity it produced enabled the town to operate the Electric Plaster Company and provide electricity to the town. Georgia-Pacific Corporation now operates a gypsum mine and processing plant and is a major source of employment for the residents of Blue Rapids. .
