History of Resort Township

The area now known as Resort Township was originally inhabited by Native Americans. Most of these Native Americans spent the winter months farther south but returned each year to their settlements along the Bay and Walloon Lake. The Native Americans liked to camp near Walloon Lake because of the good fishing and hunting opportunities. After the arrival of the white settlers, the Native Americans stayed throughout the winter months and helped in the lumber camps.
