Additional Comments:
Atlas township was originally a part of Lapeer county, being detached from
Lapeer and added to Genesee county in 1843. It was organized in 1836, and was
one of the earliest townships in this region to receive settlers. The first
settler was Asa Farrar, who, in September, 1839, purchased land on section 18
and built a log house upon it the same year. He was a brother of Pearson
Farrar, who settled the same year in Grand Blanc upon an adjacent section.
They came from Monroe county, New York. The first birth and the first marriage
in Atlas township occurred in Asa Farrar's family, respectively, in 1833 and
1834.
