Manitou Beach–Devils Lake, Michigan

The census-designated place consists of the unincorporated communities of Devils Lake, Geneva, and Manitou Beach and includes the larger lakes of Devils Lake and Round Lake.

Communities

 * Devils Lake is at the northern end of Devils Lake on U.S. Route 223 at 42.00778°N, -84.2925°W.
 * Geneva is at the south end of the smaller Round Lake to the southeast, at 41.95806°N, -84.27778°W.
 * Manitou Beach is at the southwest end of Devils Lake at 41.96972°N, -84.30833°W, approximately 2.5 mi southwest of Devils Lake and about 2 mi east-southeast of Addison. Manitou Beach contains its own post office that uses the 49523 ZIP Code that serves the majority of the CDP and parts of the surrounding area.

History

Devil's Lake was a Potawatami village until about 1830. Most of the people were forced west of the Mississippi River after passage of the Indian Removal Act that year under President Andrew Jackson.

Manitou Beach was first noted by Euro-American settlers in the early 1830s. By the turn of the 20th century, it became a favored resort in southeast Michigan. It quickly outgrew the comparably sized community of Devils Lake at the north end of the lake. Steam launches ferried tourists from the depot to the hotels and attractions, which included bath houses, a dance pavilion, pleasure craft rental facilities, a water slide, picnic areas and eating establishments. The name 'Manitou Beach' is derived from the Potawatomi name of Devils Lake, "Michemanetue'", meaning, "Lake of God (Michi Mantitou'' is a variation of the Ojibwe word for the Creator)

The Manitou Beach post office was established on March 20, 1889, with Columbus F. Becker as the first postmaster. The office was discontinued on December 31, 1892, and reestablished on January 17, 1893. Manitou Beach was a station on the Cincinnati, Jackson and Mackinaw Railroad (later part of the Cincinnati Northern Railway).

Devil's Lake was said to have been named by Potawatomi leader Meteau (or Mitteau) after his daughter drowned in the lake and her body was never recovered. As she had been an able swimmer, Meteau believed her to have been taken by evil spirits.

The first European-American, or white, settlers arrived here in 1833. The Devils Lake post office was established on October 19, 1885, with John B. Allen as the first postmaster. The office was discontinued on October 31, 1936. The Detroit, Toledo and Milwaukee Railroad had a stop at Devil's Lake.

In the late 20th century, the Manitou Beach region was devastated by two F4 tornadoes during the April 11, 1965 Palm Sunday Tornado Outbreak. Most of what was destroyed was rebuilt, including the dance hall and two churches. Over the course of the past five decades, the resort has had few reminders of the tornado.

The Devils Lake Drive-In-Church, a drive-in movie theater, closed its doors after 58 seasons due to the death of its operator. The Manitou Beach Inn, a long-time staple of the business community, was destroyed by fire January 3, 2010. When the inn was rebuilt, it helped start revitalization of the historic business district along Walnut Street.

Cohoctah Township, Michigan

Cohoctah Township is a civil township of Livingston County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 3,246 at the 2020 census. It is located in the northwest quadrant of the county, bordered by Conway Township to the west, Deerfield Township to the east, and Howell Township to the south. To the north is Shiawassee County.

History
Cohoctah Township was first organized in 1838 with the name of Tuscola Township. It was renamed Bristol Township in 1857 and given its current name in 1867. Boutell Cemetery and Sanford Cemetery are located in the township.

Communities
Farming is the primary use of land, with only three small towns serving as population centers:
 * Cohoctah is an unincorporated community in the northeast quadrant of the township at the junction of Oak Grove Road and Cohoctah Road at 42.75972°N, -83.94861°W. The ZIP code is 48816. There is a gas station, a small post office, and a machine shop. It started around a grain elevator in 1886 that is currently still there, but not in operation.
 * Cohoctah Center is an unincorporated community, which despite its name is somewhat to the northwest of the center of Cohoctah Township at 42.755°N, -83.98694°W. It was settled in 1833 by Lyman Boughton and Gilbert Prentiss. The town was also called "Sprungtown" for Isaac Sprung, one of its more prominent citizens. It is the site of the township hall, but has no retail or commercial establishments.
 * Oak Grove is an unincorporated community about 6.5 mi north of Howell and about 4.25 mi south of Cohoctah, near the intersection of Oak Grove Road and Faussett Road, in the eastern part of Cohoctah Township at 42.70028°N, -83.93194°W. The ZIP code is 48863. It had a general store, but currently no retail or commercial establishments.
 * Per the 1875 Plat Maps of Livingston County, the community currently known as Cohoctah Center was labeled as Cohoctah and is located in Section 16 of Cohoctah Township. Section 16 was commonly referred to as the school section within the townships due to the practice of placing a rural school near the center of each township in Section 16. There is no community or improvements depicted on the map in the northeasterly area of the township where the current community of Cohoctah is located.
 * Per the 1895 Plat Maps of Livingston County, the current community of Cohoctah Center is labeled as Cohoctah as it was in the 1875 map. A change from the prior map is that a north–south railroad line is shown running through the easterly portion of the township. There is also a depot depicted with the community of East Cohoctah at the location of the current community of Cohoctah.
 * Per the 1915 Plat Maps of Livingston County, the community labeled as Cohoctah in the two prior maps is labeled as Cohoctah Center, just as it is currently known. The community located at the railroad depot, that had been labeled as East Cohoctah in 1895, is labeled as Cohoctah, also as it is currently known. Originally the Cohoctah township community was centered at the town of Cohoctah, which was the location of the rural school in Section 16. As the township evolved with the construction of the railroad, the community's commerce center shifted from the location of the school to that of the railroad depot, which then became the predominant community within the township.
