Hillsdale County Plans
Hillsdale County is located in the south-central portion of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. The State’s Meridian – utilized by surveyors, land owners and other powers to identify the location of real property in Michigan – is also Hillsdale County’s eastern border. US-127 (Meridian Road) roughly follows the Meridian. The southwest corner of the county is where the states of Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio meet.
The county is comprised of 18 townships, 4 cities, 5 villages, and a variety of crossroads hamlets and other small settlements. The townships and incorporated cities and villages are governed by elected boards and councils. County residents are also represented by the Hillsdale County Board of Commissioners. The entire county is also part of Michigan House District 16, Michigan Senate District 16, and Michigan District 7 of the US House of Representatives.
