Dimondale is a suburb in the Eaton county of the U.S. Issac M Dimond as part of one of his ventures, Dimond arrived in the region in 1848 and started building a dam in 1850 immediately east of Silver Creek on the Grand River, in the middle of Windsor Township's section 15 along the Grand River. A saw mill was running and the dam was finished by 1852. In 1856, he built a gristmill. Hosey Harvey conducted a village survey on August 6, 1856, in order for Dimond to have the name "Dimondale" platted over the settlement. The village plat was unique in that the majority of the roads in the area in Michigan ran north-south and east-west, while the streets in the village flowed northeast to southwest. On a map, its edges roughly resemble a diamond. 2601:405:4980:A2E0:61EA:A0F6:A5DD:44CB (talk) 00:01, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
