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!
