At roughly 32 square miles, Allegan Township includes the City of Allegan within its boundaries—a quirk that means you can live in the township proper and still be steps from downtown shops, restaurants, and a grocery store. The rural character runs deep here: farms and agricultural fields define the landscape. It's the kind of place where a hardware store, salon, and dog groomer aren't just convenient—they're known quantities, places people actually care about.
