Station: Lakeview, MI (Montcalm County)

Lakeview was first settled about 1858 on the west bank of Tamarack Lake. The town was incorporated as a village in 1881. [MPN]

Lakeview is in northern Montcalm County and was on a Pere Marquette branch line which ran between Edmore and Howard City. It is about half way between these two towns.
