First inhabited by the Miami
Indians, the area that has become Watervliet Township enjoys a rich heritage dating
back at least to the 1600's. At that time the area was inhabited by the Miami
Indians and subsequently by the Potawatomi. It is believed that the first white man
to have crossed the territory was French priest Father Marquette in 1675.
In the early 1800's settlers were
drawn to the area's fertile land and the opportunities it offered for farming and
lumber. Near the end of the century Paw Paw Lake was becoming known for its beauty
and potential as a recreational destination.
Within short driving distance of
several metropolitan centers offering entertainment, shopping, educational,
sporting and cultural opportunities, Watervliet continues to maintain its rural
atmosphere and actively seeks to encourage business growth within its borders.
