Walton. In the 1920's, Mrs. Sollace B. Collidge was chiefly instrumental in having the name changed from Three Mile Lake. No combination of dimensions totaled 3 miles and it wasn't 3 miles from any particular place. The lake was named after a bell, "The Angelus" which was part of a school on the lake run by Mrs. Coolidge. In May 1930, Lake Angelus was incorporated into a village. On January 1, 1984 Lake Angelus became a city. It was Michigan's smallest city according to the 1990 census with a population of 328.
