History

The area was settled as early as 1867 when Orvis Wood and Lucius Pearl, and Orin Adams built a dock and sawmill here. At the time, it was part of Emmet County, as Charlevoix County was not organized in 1869. The following year, William Harris built a hotel, and it became an important shipping location. Harris served as the first postmaster when a post office opened on February 1, 1868. The name Norwood was chosen due to its located in the northern woods. The post office operated until April 30, 1913. [3]

In 1867, the Norwood School District No. 1 was organized. In 1869, a frame schoolhouse was built, and the current structure was built in 1890. Due to low enrollment, the district merged with Charlevoix School District in 1957. The structure then served as a church building. It was purchased and restored to a museum by the Norwood Area Historic Society in 2004. In 2017, the former schoolhouse was dedicated as a Michigan State Historic Site. [4]

The community of Norwood was listed as a newly-organized census-designated place for the 2010 census, meaning it now has officially defined boundaries and population statistics for the first time. [5] Norwood uses the Charlevoix 49720 ZIP Code. [6]
