Editing Bloomingdale Township, Michigan (section)

== History ==
The township is largely agricultural with some small resorts along with the Van Buren Youth Camp. Much of the population lives in the village of Bloomingdale and along the lakes.

Oil was discovered in the 1930s and production has ended, though there have been efforts to start pumping again.

The [[Kal-Haven Trail]], used heavily by bicyclists in the summer and snowmobilers in the winter, goes through the township on a former railbed in a largely southeast–northwest direction, beginning with Gobles on the east, through Bloomingdale and exiting at Berlamont.
