Kent City became an incorporated village in 1908. It is situated in Kent County’s northwestern corner, within Tyrone Township, and is surrounded by fertile farmland. Kent City is primarily a residential community, with growing industrial areas along the M37 state highway. The Rogue River State Game Area is close to the village. The area’s natural resources, combined with the village’s tranquil community character and proximity to the City of Grand Rapids, have contributed to the village’s status as a family-friendly community.
