Ubly is named after an English town, called Ubley. But the American version of the town has become unique in its own right. A village rich in history, Ubly originally was named Pagett Corners, in honor of village father Alfred Pagett, who operated the first store in the community. Businessman Pagett, a native of Ubley, England, wanted to preserve the name of his hometown, so Pagett Corners eventually became Ubly, a slice of English history recreated right here in the Thumb. Most visitors will tell you, while the downtown businesses serve up everything from great food to quaint shopping, it’s the people that make Ubly a destination they can’t wait to visit again. Residents
enjoy the slower pace and comfortable feel of the Thumb that makes it a great place to do business and raise a family. The home of Thumb Electric Cooperative, a rural electric cooperative serving the Thumb area, Ubly has a kindergarten through 12th grade school and a small, but solid downtown. The village’s park system is impressive. A park located in downtown features a baseball diamond, bathroom facilities and a covered pavilion for gatherings. It’s a favorite spot for people celebrating family reunions. Golf is a popular reason for visiting Ubly, as is the Ubly Dragway. The dragway draws drivers and racing enthusiasts from throughout Michigan. The dragway, located along M-19, is a popular attraction.
