About Us:

Springfield Township was established on March 2, 1836 by the Legislature of the State of Michigan. One of the very first settlements was developed along the Detroit and Saginaw Turnpike, now known as Dixie Highway. The settlement was known as Springfield. Andersonville, located at the intersection of Andersonville Road and Big Lake Roads, was settled shortly thereafter in 1833 with the Hamlet of Davisburg being settled in 1836.

The first Township meeting was held in the spring of 1837. Early Township meetings focused on surveying and maintaining roads, organizing and financing schools and solving problems of a rapidly growing community.
