Shingleton

Shingleton is located in the Hiawatha National Forest at the junction of M-28 and M-94.

A station on the Detroit, Mackinaw & Marquette Railroad in 1882, it was originally named Jeromeville for David H. Jerome, the first native born governor of Michigan, 1881-83. 

The town was the site of a shingle mill.  As such, when the town was given a post office in 1887, the name was changed to Shingleton.  James M. Carr became the town's first postmaster on September 20, 1887.
