History

The Village of the Landing incorporated in 1927 by a 12–7 vote. The village was incorporated because locals wanted local zoning control and were against having a public water supply service the area. [2]

Despite the efforts locals made in incorporating their village, a lack of public interest in the village by locals proved to be detrimental to the new village; locals did not usually attend village meetings. [2] This lack of interest is contributed to the Village of the Landing being dissolved on May 25, 1939, after 17 out of 38 voters voted in favor of dissolving the village. [2] [3] [4]

It is known that the Village of the Landing allowed duplex properties to be erected, as per its zoning laws. [5]
