From an 1837 Township to a City Incorporated in 1962
Walker Township organized in 1837 as Kent County's second township, covering land north of the Grand River first settled by Samuel and Lydia White that year, and didn't become the City of Walker until November 8, 1962, after renewed pressure to annex its industrial areas.
Bathrooms From a 1960s Construction Wave
Because so much of Walker's housing stock followed its 1962 incorporation, a meaningful share of the city's bathrooms were built to early-1960s fixture and layout standards, generally a single small room rather than today's larger footprint.
