About Bloomingdale
Village in Michigan, United States
Bloomingdale is a village in Van Buren County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 513 at the 2020 census. The village is located within Bloomingdale Township and is the township seat. In the 1930s oil was discovered within the village limits, but pumping has now ceased due to lack of oil. Bloomingdale was thought to be a rising city but when the oil ceased, so did the attraction. Michigan's Department of Natural Resources considers Bloomingdale to be the midpoint on the Kal-Haven Trail, which runs directly through the main four corners and business district. The downtown Augustus Haven Park with its Depot Museum is a picnic stop for trail users.
