History
Walled Lake was first settled in the mid 1820’s when a Walter B. Hewett bought
government land here. A Jesse Tuttle from Pennsylvania moved here and platted
the land officially, with the first post office opening in 1833. The name was
believed to have derived from the appearance of the areas’ lake, which looked
like the waters were "walled" due to drift deposits or the action of water and
ice. The village grew as a suburban area adjacent to Detroit, eventually
incorporating as a city in 1954.
Today, it remains a pleasant location
for quality suburban living, complete with shopping plazas and well-kept
residences situated around the lake.
