TOWN OF ROYALTON
The Town of Royalton is southeast of the center of the county and contains much good agricultural land. It is also an excellent grazing country, especially around White Lake, which is the largest body of water in the county. It covers nearly all of section 21 and portions of sections, 15, 16, 20, 22, 28 and 29. The grove on the south shore of White Lake was for many years the favorite picnic ground for the Old Settlers' Society and other organizations.
