The village of Constantine is located in Constantine Township, St. Joseph County, Michigan at the intersection of Fawn River (originally Crooked Creek) and the St. Joseph River. William Meek, of Wayne County, Ohio, purchased land in Constantine in the summer of 1828 at the land office in Monroe, and built a log cabin on south bank of the St. Joseph River in the winter of 1828/29. This was the first cabin in this area. His family joined him in the summer of 1829. The following winter he began construction of a saw mill and the settlement was known as “Meeks Mill”. Other early settlers were the families of Bonebright, Fitch, Arnold, Hamilton and Driggs. The first child born in the village was Henry Bonebright on February 3, 1930. The first marriage was that of Elliott Woods and Eliza Meeks in 1830. The population was 2,095 at the 2000 census. The village is located within Constantine Township.
