The village's first settlers began arriving in Lake Orion as early as 1828. Just one year after that, two new settlers decided to purchase a tract of land in order to unite surrounding lakes into one large body of water, which is now present-day Lake Orion. Once the railroad came to the village, rapid changes came to the area and travelers began to realize all of the great amenities that this quaint village had to offer. At the turn of the 20th century, the village had its own amusement park, postal service, schools and main street. Today, Lake Orion is a mix of old and new, with more than 2,900 residents, according to City-Data. Another added bonus to living in Lake Orion? It is easy on your wallet.
