Grand Haven is a western Michigan town located at the mouth of the Grand River on the shoreline of Lake Michigan. American Gangster Al Capone supposedly once owned a safe house near town, and George "Baby Face" Nelson committed his first bank robbery here. On the other end of the, ahem, spectrum, it was also the first town in the US to offer city-wide Wi-Fi access.
The City of Grand Haven, located about 35 miles west of Grand Rapids, Michigan and 14 miles south of Muskegon has a population of about 10,500. Grand Haven is part of the Holland-Grand Haven Metropolitan Area, which has a total population of about 264,000. It's a buzzing beach resort community with many surrounding recreational areas, including campgrounds, biking trails, golf courses and a large boating community. Due to its location close to the center of the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, and because it is centrally located to the much larger urban centers of Grand Rapids, Muskegon and Holland, Grand Haven is a vacation destination and weekend getaway for many residents of those cities, as well as people who live in the many smaller towns that dot the central western Michigan landscape.
