Michigan's colonial and territorial days refer to the period from the establishment of European settlements in the early 17th century until Michigan achieved statehood in 1837. Initially, French explorers and settlers, followed by British control after the French and Indian War, shaped the region's early development. The area's economy revolved around fur trading, agriculture, and timber. The transition to territorial status began in 1805, leading to increased migration and the eventual establishment of a state government.
