Grand Blanc Charter Township is a charter township of Genesee County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 37,508 at the 2010 census, a significant increase from 29,827 at the 2000 census. The city of Grand Blanc was formed out of part of the township's survey area.

Communities

  • Whigville, also known as Gibsonville,[3] is an unincorporated community as designated by the posted signs in the Township along Hill Road, Dort Highway and Saginaw Street.[4]

History

Originally settled by Chippewa Indians, the township took its name—French for "Great white"—from French traders who arrived before 1800. Afterwards, pioneer families began settling in the township. Jacob Stevens settled at the survey township center and future city with his family in 1823. The township center began to boom in 1864 with the arrival of the railroad (now known as the CSX Saginaw Subdivision).[5]

The oldest unit of government in Genesee County, Grand Blanc Township was organized on March 9, 1833 by the Territory of Michigan. Then the township included the survey area of the future townships of Atlas, Burton, Davison, Fenton, Flint, Genesee, Mount Morris and Mundy. With the March 2, 1836 formation of Flint Township, Grand Blanc lost in addition the township survey areas of Burton, Genesee and Mount Morris to Flint. With the July 26, 1836 organization of Argentine Township, Grand Blanc lost Fenton to the new township. Mundy was split off on its March 11, 1837 organization. By March 1843, Atlas and Davison had been organized.[6]

Grand Blanc Centre incorporated as the City of Grand Blanc in 1930.[5] In 1939, the township and the city started a joint fire department.[7]

An effort to consolidate the city and township into a single political entity was rejected by voters in both the city and township on May 2, 2006.[8] On January 20, 2019, the Township Board voted to rescind its joint fire department agreement in 90 days unless a new agreement is reached.[7]
