FAMILY STORIES Hamlin Township is putting together a notebook collection of family stories. It has old articles that were posted in the newspaper, articles from Hamlin Currents along with stories that were turned into the Hamlin Lake Preservation Society. There is a story about ice skating on the lake, fishing in the narrows when the fog comes up, living in a cottage before running water and electricity, a wedding that involved riding horses into the lake, memories of grandparents, cottages that have burned and much more. Please feel free to send in your Family Story and/or photo and we will include it in this notebook collection. After the Township’s Sesquicentennial activities in August, the notebook will be donated to White Pine Village for others to view. This notebook will be a true treasure.

Today, Hamlin Township is the largest Residential Township in Mason County with a population of 3408 per the 2010 US Census. Hamlin Township provides some of the very best summer and winter recreational activities, with new and older homes blending for a delightful community with very little industry. Hamlin Township can truly boast “one-of-a-kind” status and is home to beautiful Hamlin Lake. Hamlin Lake, a man-made lake, is more than 12 miles long and 5,000 acres large that originated during the logging hey-day when lumbermen dammed the Big Sable River to make an enormous holding pond for trees that were felled upstream. Thank you for visiting our new website. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Office Hours: 8 am to 4:30 pm Monday thru Friday

TOWNSHIP TREASURER |
Hamlin Township was established on February 28, 1861 by the Michigan State Legislatures.\ It is named after Hannibal Hamlin, Vice President from 1860 to 1864 under President Abraham Lincoln. The first settlement in Hamlin Township was made by Charley Mears, in 1858 in Section Two. The next settlers were Mr. and Mrs. Louis Sladick in Section 12. A railroad traveled from Ludington to the North Bayou, it was called the Dummy Line. When the first people settled in the Township, there were woods all around. As years went past and the population grew, more timber was cut and now there are very little woods standing. At one point, there were 84 farms in Hamlin Township. Hamlin Lake hotels and large resorts added much interest to Hamlin Township.
