Downtown Ortonville - The ❤ of our Community

Our quaint little community received its name from our founder Amos Orton whose grist mill inspired people to settle and build in this area.

A charming small-town experience, we take pride in remaining an All-American, authentic village that has been a hub of activity for 175 years, serving as the “Downtown” for the Village of Ortonville, Brandon Township, and Groveland Township.

When you visit our town, you'll find:

Walkable Downtown
Historic Character
Locally Owned and Unique Shops
Welcoming Places for visitors

Stroll, sit, linger, and dine downtown!
