The City of Saginaw is the result of a consolidation of Saginaw and East Saginaw in 1890. The present charter was adopted in 1935.

The July average low is 60 degrees and the high is 82. The average annual rainfall is 30 inches. Saginaw is a diversified community with a manufacturing base. Attractions include the Japanese Cultural Center and Tea House, a symbol of friendship and cultural exchange with Saginaw's sister city, Tokushima; Ojibway Island, a recreational area suitable for viewing July Fourth fireworks; and Old Saginaw City, a turn-of-the-century promenade.
