About Britton

Britton is a quiet, welcoming village of around 500 residents set among the open farm fields of Lenawee County along M-50. The community got its start in the 1880s as a railroad stop originally named Balch. That changed in 1888 when a local merchant and postmaster, John Britton, paid $500 to put his own name on the map. Today, those railroad roots still shape the village layout, with tidy residential streets opening up to scenic countryside.

Britton, MI location
