Howell Township was founded in 1836 and originally included in what is now the Townships of Oceola and Marion and the City of Howell. In 1960 the population was 1,540 residents. The 2000 census reported a population of 5,679, a 32.3% increase. The population has been steadily growing with the largest growth between 1970-80 with a 64.8% increase.
The mixture of single and multiple-family residential housing, along with commercial and industrial, as well as farming, creates a comfortable environment to raise a family or conduct business. Students in Howell Township attend Howell or Fowlerville Schools.
Howell Township’s infrastructure includes a new state-of-the-art waste water treatment plant and public water is supplied through the Marion, Howell, Oceola, Genoa Water Authority (MHOG). A master plan for sewer and water has been formulated by the Township as a tool for future growth. Properties not on public sewer and water are serviced by private septic and wells.
Howell Township is a member of the Howell Area Fire Authority supplying fire protection to the entire Township. Howell Township is under the protection of the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department and the Michigan State Police.
Howell Township is proud to be home to the Trans-West Industrial Center, Michigan Technical Education Center, Tanger Outlet Factory Shops, Livingston Antique Mall, Livingston County Spencer J. Hardy Airport and many other businesses and restaurants. Saint Joseph’s Mercy Health System has two hospitals in Livingston County, one in Howell and the other in Brighton. There are also many doctors and other health professionals and clinics to service the residents of Howell Township. Howell Township also participates in the Howell Carnegie District Library.
With M-59, Grand River, I-96, the airport and railroad, Howell Township has the advantage of a good industrial, commercial, residential and agricultural mix. Residents have a choice of housing from high density, to acreage or small lot subdivisions, country estates or farms. All are afforded the close proximity of a variety of shopping and other necessary services. Plus there is still ample property available in the industrial and commercial areas for further development.
