Welcome Home
Home is a valued place
considered to be a refuge or
place of origin; The place, as a
country or town, where one was
born or resided for a long
period...” These are just a few of
Webster’s definitions of the word
“home".
Bates Township is “home” for
many of our residents who have
descended from the township’s
earliest Settlers. For some this is
the community that you have
chosen for a variety of reasons to
call “home.”
Our township is rich in history and
our citizens are strong in spirit!
However, it is that you have made
your way here at this moment in
time…we would like to say -
Welcome Home!
Bates Township is located next
to the city of Iron River in the
Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

offer. The beautiful area offers
year round recreation and
enjoyment. So, enjoy this
