Vintage small-town Americana lives in the City of Four Flags

Suburb River Historic Affordable Amtrak Rail Service

Niles is a small city in the far southwestern corner of Michigan, about ten miles north of South Bend, Indiana. Known as the “City of Four Flags,” Niles has a rich history as a settlement occupied by four different national powers dating back to the late 17th century. Today, the city retains a timeless character with numerous vintage structures all over the city, from the vintage storefronts downtown to the stone railroad bridge over 2nd Street to the iconic Chapin Mansion. Spanning both banks of the Saint Joseph River, much of the city’s waterfront is preserved with lush public parks, offering residents a beautiful scenic venue to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.
