The First Settler
Have you ever been to or seen the Duck Farm?
It is just around the block from our school on the Huron River.
It is where the first person settled, in what is now Commerce Township.
In 1825, a German immigrant named Abram Walrod came from New York along the Erie Canal.
He stopped here to build a log cabin on the shore of the Huron River, and he lived there for many years.
