Editing Wolverine Lake, Michigan (section)

==History==
Before 1918, Howard Stuart and L. A. Green proposed the idea of damming several small streams in order to create a larger lake.  The project was completed in March 1923, and the growing community was petitioned to be named Wolverine Lake by the end of the year.  The name was chosen after the [[wolverine]], which is the state animal.  Wolverine Lake incorporated as a village in 1954.<ref>{{cite book |first1=Walter |last1=Romig |title=Michigan Place Names: The History of the Founding and the Naming of More Than Five Thousand Past and Present Michigan Communities |work=Great Lakes Books Series |type=Paperback  |orig-date= 1973 |date=October 1, 1986 |publisher=[[Wayne State University Press]] |isbn = 978-0-8143-1838-6 |location=Detroit, Michigan| pages=610–611}}</ref>
