Reynolds Township Official Site
Rooted in history since 1868, Reynolds Township encompasses thirty-six square miles of beautiful Montcalm County, including the charming Howard City. Situated conveniently by US-131, our community of 5,687 residents values a balanced life immersed in scenic landscapes. From the reaches of the Manistee National Forest to the flowing Tamarack Creeks, white pine trails offer serene paths for explorers. Our foundation is built on public safety, an exceptional fire department, and the respected Tri-County school district. Life here centers around Howard City’s historic downtown, where heritage architecture meets local entrepreneurship and community celebrations. Enriched by diverse spiritual life and a modern library, we welcome all to experience a place where traditional values meet a promising future.
