Wolverine Lake is located in central Oakland County in what is referred to as the "lakes area." It began as a special construction project in 1918 when Dr. Howard Stuart and L. A. Green proposed to build a dam to back up the waters flooding several small lakes in the area so one large lake would be formed. The project was completed in 1923, at which time it was named after Michigan’s state animal the wolverine. The area grew as a suburb to Detroit, and was eventually incorporated into a village in 1954.
Today, it retains much of the natural beauty of the marshes surrounding the lake, with a focus on maintaining quality residential living, and limited commercial development.
