'''Lake Angelus''' is a [[city]] in [[Oakland County, Michigan|Oakland County]] in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Michigan]]. An affluent northern suburb of [[Metro Detroit|Detroit]], Lake Angelus is located about {{convert|35|mi|km|spell=}} north of [[downtown Detroit]]. With a population of 287 as of the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], Lake Angelus is the second-smallest city in Michigan, behind [[Omer, Michigan|Omer]]; it also has one of the highest per capita incomes of any community in the state.

==History==
In the early 1900s, a small community formed around the lake, then called Three Mile Lake. During the 1920s, the lake was renamed [[Lake Angelus (Michigan)|Lake Angelus]] by Mrs. Sollace B. Collidge as the original name stood for the distance from the eastern side of the lake shore to the western shore. The community was under pressure from nearby government establishments to be annexed. In 1929, however, a special state act of legislation was passed, granting Lake Angelus incorporation as a village.{{sfn|Romig|1986|pages=227}} Lake Angelus became a city of its own in 1984.<ref name=fj>{{cite news|title=The 18 tiniest cities in Michigan|url=http://www.mlive.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2016/11/meet_michigans_smallest_cities.html#21|access-date=December 5, 2016|work=Flint Journal|publisher=Mlive Media Group|page=21|date=December 4, 2016}}</ref>
