The Village of Lake Orion
The Village of Lake Orion is located in Northern Oakland County approximately 45 minutes north of downtown Detroit. It is just north of Pontiac on M-24, 25 miles north of Detroit. Great lakes Crossing, The Palace of Auburn Hills and the new Chrysler Technical Center are only minutes away.
Lake Orion is 1.3 square miles with a population of 2,710. It was incorporated as a Village in 1859.
The first settlement here was named Canandaigua, after Canandaigua, N.Y. by the settlers who had come from there.
However, it was renamed Orion “because it was short, handy to write, and altogether lovely.” In 1929, it was renamed Lake Orion.
A power dam, built in 1828, united several small lakes and formed the present mile-wide lake. The area became a summer resort and developed into a year-round community.
