Eaton was organized in 1837 from open territory.
Beginning in the mid 1820’s, many pioneers coming from New York and New England helped settle the area, which was known for its rich
 soil and agricultural potential. Its first major community was Bellevue, where a unique sandstone, later known as Eaton Sandstone, 
was discovered-eventually used for mortar in the State Capital Building. 
 
Another early community, just a few miles away, was Olivet, where in 1844, a college was begun by the Congregationalists, an anti-slavery
 denomination which at that time led the way in admitting blacks as well as women. 
 
Eaton County was named for John Eaton, who was Secretary of War under U.S. President Andrew Jackson, making it 
one of Michigan's Cabinet counties. 
 
Eaton County is one of the three counties that touch the Lansing city limits. Eaton County 's biggest town is Charlotte (the county seat).
There are no big lakes in Eaton County, but some good farm ponds that that hold monster bluegill.   With ample farmland Eaton
 County excels in big, corn-fed bucks.
 
Eaton County is also known for the town Vermontville, where they hold an annual maple sugar festival the last weekend in April
 and for Grand Ledge which is known for the ledges.
