Walled Lake is a village of 200 inhabi. tants, in the township of Commerce, Oakland county, 14 miles southwest of Pontiac, and 234 east of Wixom, on the F. & P. M. Ry., with which a daily line of stages connects it. The place takes its name from the lake upon which it is situated, which in turn derives its name from a curious rock formation at its lower end, which the antiquarians and geologists have never yet come to a satisfac- tory conclusion in regard to -- as to whether it is a natural formation produced by the action of ice, or a remnant of the work of prehistoric man. It has excited a good deal of discussion, and drawn to the locality many . curious visitors. This, with the natural beauty of the place, the fine fishing in the lake, and its ready accessibility by rail, have made Walled Lake quite a popular place of resort. There are Methodist and Baptist churches in the village, a saw mill, etc. It has a daily mail. Roswell Weaver, postmaster.
