Coldsprings Township has a history that reflects the broader patterns of settlement and development in Michigan's northern Lower Peninsula. The township was officially established on October 13, 1873, during a period of rapid growth and expansion in the region. This era saw an influx of settlers drawn by the promise of abundant natural resources, particularly the rich timberlands that covered much of northern Michigan.
Like many communities in the area, Coldsprings Township's early economy was heavily based on logging, which was the primary industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The dense forests provided ample timber, which was harvested and transported to other parts of Michigan and beyond. As the logging industry declined, the township transitioned to a more diversified economy, with an increasing focus on agriculture, tourism, and outdoor recreation.
