WELCOME TO
The Village of Dimondale
About Our Community
The Village of Dimondale is located in Windsor Township in Eaton
County, Michigan on a bend of the Grand River, just southwest of
Lansing. Isaac M. Dimond came to the area in 1848 and, among his
many enterprises, began to construct a dam on the Grand River. A
grist mill was completed by 1856, and the Village was platted
1859. By 1880, the Village boasted seven stores, two
millinery shops, a planing mill, grist mill, sawmill and several
machine shops. Dimondale became incorporated as a Village in 1906.
Dimondale remains a quaint community with tree-lined streets
steeped in history. It's 1342 residents (2000 census) enjoy the
small town atmosphere and social ties. The following services can
