Showing north portion of the CITY OF FENNVILLE reference: County Clerk MANLIUS TOWNSHIP. A Campau trading post was established as early as 1825 in the township of Manlius at a point where the Rabbit River empties into the Kalamazoo. The first public highway was cut out from New Richmond toward Allegan in 1838. The township, previously a part of Newark, was organized by an act of the legislature in 1839; the township of Fillmore was subsequently added, but separated in 1849. Manlius received its name from the town of Manlius, New York, which was the birthplace of an early settler in the township. The first permanent settlement was started in 1836 at New Richmond (named for Richmond, Virginia) and a post office was established there in 1837 Hollanders settled at East Saugatuck about 1859. |
