HEATH TOWNSHIP. Considerable land purchased as early as 1833; the first road was surveyed in 1847 and known as the Dumont Road. The township was not settled until 1850. It was first included in the township of Allegan, but was made an independent township in 1851, and named for an early settler in whose house the first township meeting was held. Hamilton Village (unincorporated) was settled in 1835, and was originally known as Rabbit River.
