White Lake Township Hall

Oakland County · dedicated 2002 · 7500 Highland Road, White Lake Township

White Lake Township’s first white settler, Harley Olmsted, came here from New York State in 1830. The township was set off in 1836. Beginning around 1837 daily stagecoaches and wagons hauling lumber traveled along the old White Lake Road, part of the main route between Grand Rapids and Detroit. This town hall was built on land donated in 1875 by Charles and Elizabeth Porter. When township offices moved in 1949, it became a community center.
