History
Cedar was founded in approximately 1885 by lumberman Benjamin Boughey. He named it Cedar City due to its location in a cedar forest. The depot on the Manistee and North-Eastern Railroad[5] continued to be known as Cedar City, long after the post office named simply Cedar was established on August 15, 1893.[6]
