Walton. In the 1920's, for what was believed to be a religious reason, Mrs. Sollace B. Collidge was chiefly instrumental in having the name changed from Three Mile Lake. In May 1930 it had been incorporated into a village until January 1, 1984 when Lake Angelus became a city. No combination of dimensions totaled 3 miles and it wasn't 3 miles from any particular place. It was Michigan's smallest city according to the 1990 census with a population of 328.
