BUENA VISTA (Listed as a village in 1860 Gazetteer)
A township of Saginaw county, containing the flourishing city of *East Saginaw. The surface of township is mostly in heavy timber, and is level, and partially marshy. Several salt works are located in this township, outside the city limits. 
Entry from: Michigan state gazetteer and business directory for 1863/1864, embracing historical and descriptive sketches of all the cities, towns and villages throughout the state.

First land purchase was in 1823.  The settlement grew around a mill owned by Curtis Emerson.  First Post Office was started in 1868.  

*East Saginaw - History with names from 1863-64.

Indian Town - No further history on the name of this area was found at present.  May be due to the Crow Reverse nearby.
