Delhi Township's first settlers
arrived in 1837 and the township was established on
April 4, 1842. Since then, this diverse
community has matured into a vibrant and special blend of homes and businesses, with a
population of just over 25,000.
While maintaining
its small town atmosphere, Delhi Township offers many opportunities, whether personal,
recreational or business. It is home to many national and international companies
which provide a broad range of products and services around the world.
A
master land use plan is in place to ensure that the community
continues to develop in a manner that provides the highest quality of
life for those who reside here while assuring opportunities for
businesses and those who will arrive.
Delhi Township is often called
"Holt."
Holt is one of the oldest unincorporated communities in
Michigan and is located in the Charter Township of Delhi.
Holt is neither a city nor a village. It is a zip code
area. Holt was first named Delhi Center, but this
conflicted with Delhi Mills in Washtenaw County. So in
1860 the name was changed to Holt, in honor of Postmaster
General James Joseph Holt.
