Spring
Arbor Township is one of nineteen townships in Jackson County,
Michigan. Located southwest of Jackson, it covers
36 square miles with rolling terrain that includes rich
farm land, lakes, wetlands, woods, and developed areas for
residential use.
First
inhabited by Native Americans, Spring Arbor Township has a
rich heritage in agriculture, education, and quality family
living. Three institutions of higher education were founded
in Spring Arbor; Hillsdale College, Albion College, and Spring
Arbor University which remains in the Township.
Western,
Concord, and Hanover-Horton public school districts are represented
in the Township and are recognized as among the finest in
Jackson County and beyond.
Faced with significant pressure for development, the Township
has remained committed to maintaining its rural character
and keeping the enviable tradition of being a great place
to raise a family.
