Highland Township, Charter township in Oakland County, Michigan, US
Highland Township spans 36 square miles of land and water, featuring more than 25 lakes and state recreation areas across its territory.
The township's development gained momentum in 1835 when pioneer families established the community, with railroads later facilitating lumber transportation and industrial growth.
The township consists of six distinct unincorporated communities: Clyde, East Highland, Hickory Ridge, Highland, Seven Harbors, and West Highland.
The M-59 highway crosses through Highland Township, connecting residents to US-23 in the west and southeastern Michigan's urban areas in the east.
In 2003, Highland Township declared itself an equestrian community, receiving official recognition from Michigan state government as the first designated equestrian area.
