}}{{commons category|Bridgewater Township, Michigan}}Bridgewater Township is a civil township of Washtenaw County in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2010 census, the township population was 1,674.[3]

History

Bridgewater Township was organized in 1833. It was at first named Hixon Township, after Daniel Hixon who had settled here in 1829. It was renamed to its current name by the first supervisor, George A. Howe.[4] Many township settlers had removed from New York, including his mother, thus the reason it is named after the Town of Bridgewater, Oneida County, New York.

The township was given a post office, originally named Columbia Lake, on April 3, 1833. The post office was renamed Bridgewater to match to the township name on May 8, 1843. The post office was closed in 1869 and reopened in 1871.[5]
