Buckley Village Treasurer Office
Buckley, Michigan, established in 1907, has its roots in homesteading, logging, and farming, with land purchased at a modest price to foster settlement. The village's growth was driven by Edward Buckley, who expanded his business interests and developed a railroad to support the timber industry in the late 19th century.
The railroad, which significantly connected Buckley to larger markets, became operational by the 1900s and allowed for widespread travel across the United States. However, as timber resources diminished and the local mill suffered a fire in 1920, the railroad ceased operations by 1925, marking a significant shift in the village's economic landscape.
