Editing Bunker Hill Township, Michigan (section)

==History==
Bunker Hill Township was established in 1839 by Irish settlers. There are two variations on the origin of the community's name. One allegation is that the town was named for founder Major Johnathan Shearer's father who fought in the famous Battle of Bunker Hill, while another story states that it was named for early settler Abram Bunker.

The village of Bunker Hill held a post office from 1841 to 1842, and from 1848 to 1903. There were also multiple businesses such as a blacksmith, mercantile, churches, school, and a town hall. To the west of Bunker Hill, a small community referred to as Felts or Felt Plains held a post office from 1851 to 1975 and as well as a small schoolhouse. In nearby Fitchburg, there were several small establishments, a post office, and a school.
