Pullman is an unincorporated community in Lee Township, Allegan County, in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is in a predominantly rural area of Western Michigan, about {{convert|150|mi|km}} east of Chicago. It is centered on the junction of 109th Avenue and 56th Street between sections eight and nine of Lee Township at {{coord|42|29|01|N|86|05|29|W|}}.{{cite gnis|635511|Pullman}} It is approximately {{Convert|10|mi|km}} northeast of South Haven, about {{convert|13|mi|km}} southeast of Saugatuck–Douglas, and {{convert|6|mi|km|spell=in}} west-southwest of Allegan. The Upper, Lower, and Western Scott Lakes are nearby, which empty into the Scott Creek Drain, a tributary of the Middle Branch of the Black River.{{citation needed|date=July 2018}}

Two brothers named Clement built a sawmill in 1870. A station on the Chicago and West Michigan Railway (later part of the Pere Marquette Railway) was established in 1871 and the area became known as "Hoppertown", after an area landowner. A post office with that name operated from 1875 to 1880 and began again in 1891. The post office was renamed Pullman in 1901, apparently after George Pullman.{{cite book |last = Romig |first = Walter |year = 1986 |title = Michigan Place Names |location = Detroit |publisher = Wayne State University Press |page = 461 |isbn = 978-0-8143-1838-6 }} The ZIP code for Pullman is 49450.
