Built in 1878 on Corunna Road, the Township Hall was a gift from the citizens of Clayton Township and was moved to Crossroads Village in 1976. The Clayton Township area was originally called Miller's Settlement after the first settler, Adam Miller, who arrived from New York. He cleared the land and named the stream Swartz Creek. When Michigan was forming towns and townships, local residents submitted possible community names for state approval. Since no name was sent in for this area, someone in the state office chose Clayton for the township name. Township halls such as this one were used for elections, dances, and meetings of government and social groups.
