    History:

  • The village of Whitmore Lake is located on the southwestern shore of the 667-acre lake.
  • Local residents have discussed incorporating the village on many occasions, but have not yet chosen to do so.
  • Until the 1950's the lake was used almost exclusively by local residents.
  • By 1959, however, one survey found that 30% of the anglers came from elsewhere in Michigan.
