EXPLANATION OF PLACE NAME: COMMERCE TOWNSHIP
THE TOWN IN WHICH I LIVE IS PART OF COMMERCE TOWNSHIP.
A SMALL TRIBUTARY OF THE ROUGE RIVER RUNS THROUGH COMMERCE,
ON WHICH A MILL WAS BUILT IN THE 1800'S. THE TOWNSHIP
WAS NAMED COMMERCE IN THE BELIEF OR HOPE THAT THE MILL AND
THE RIVER WOULD MAKE IT A PLACE FOR COMMERCE.
Submitter comment:
THIS IS VERY IRONIC BECAUSE IT BECAME A RESORT TOWN AND
IS NOW A SLEEPY SUBURB, RATHER THAN A BUSTLING PLACE OF
COMMERCE AND TRADE.

NEAR THE TOWN IN WHICH I LIVE IS A TOWN CALLED WALLED LAKE.

HAVE BEEN CALLED THAT BY INDIANS OF THE AREA, BECAUSE THE LAKE
