Welcome to Huron Township
A SELF-ZONED COMMUNITY
A SELF-ZONED COMMUNITY
Located in the north east corner of Huron County, Huron Township was organized by the Supervisors of Sanilac County in 1854.
The first settler was Theodore Luce who erected a water-powered sawmill near the mouth of Willow Creek in 1837.
The Hubbard Family bought the property in 1856 and took a leading role in the building of churches, schools, lodging accommodations, and roads.
Huron Township is primarily agricultural.
The township is made up of 35 sections,
four of which are partial, due to the approximately 4.5 miles of Lake Huron shoreline, and is home to 437 residents.
A rural community, Huron Township residents and visitors have ample opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors, including hunting and fishing. L
