GERRISH TOWNSHIP INFORMATION

On April 5, 1880, area residents met at the Gerrish logging camp to elect officers for their  newly organized Township.  Originally, the Township embraced present-day Gerrish, Lyon and Markey Townships.  In 1920, the present boundary line was established.  The Township borders on one-half of the shoreline of Michigan’s sixth largest inland lake, Higgins Lake.  The area is primarily a resort community.
