Jackson is a city in Jackson County, Michigan, United States, and its county seat. The population was 31,309 at the 2020 census. Located along Interstate 94 and U.S. Route 127, it is approximately 65 miles (105 km) east of Kalamazoo, 35 miles (56 km) west of Ann Arbor, 75 miles (121 km) west of Detroit and 35 miles (56 km) south of Lansing. Jackson is the core city of the Jackson metropolitan area, which includes all of Jackson County and has a population of 160,248.
The city was founded in 1829 and named after President Andrew Jackson. Michigan's first prison, Michigan State Prison (or Jackson State Prison), opened in 1838 and remains in operation. Jackson was historically regarded as the "birthplace of the Republican Party" due to a meeting held there in 1854, during which political figures gathered to oppose the expansion of slavery. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Jackson became an early automotive manufacturing center that attracted southerners and immigrants to the city's numerous factories, which saw its population increase significantly.
