Augusta was settled about 1832 in Kalamazoo County. It became a village in 1869.

The town was14 miles east of Kalamazoo on the Michigan Central main line. The town was also served by a interurban line and the nearby Detroit, Toledo & Milwaukee line. The Michigan Central established a large locomotive coaling tower here straddling the main line. It still exists but has not been used for 55 years. -Michigan Railroads.com
