Googlemaps: Saginaw Castle Museum Saginaw, Texas was named in 1882 by someone who had lived on Saginaw Street in Pontiac, Michigan. The street got its name from the city of Saginaw, Michigan which is about an hour to the NNW. In Ojibwe, it is thought to mean "where the Sauk Indians were." The first Europeans to venture into the area were French fur trappers & traders. It was also the site of treaties between the Native American (First Nation) tribes. In 1889, with the support of its many citizens with French ancestry, decided to build their post office in the fashion of a French chateau. While the post office is no longer there, they have an extraordinary museum in the building. If you are in the area, make sure to visit The Castle Museum
