Promoting Small Businesses Across Montcalm County

The Discover Montcalm Podcast thrives on strong community relationships. Montcalm County is anchored by three incorporated cities—Greenville (the county’s commercial center), Carson City, and Stanton (the county seat). The area also features six incorporated villages: Edmore, Howard City, Lakeview, McBride, Pierson, and Sheridan.

Local governance across the rural landscapes is organized into twenty civil townships: Belvidere, Bloomer, Bushnell, Cato, Crystal, Day, Douglass, Eureka (the county’s charter township), Evergreen, Fairplain, Ferris, Home, Maple Valley, Montcalm, Pierson, Pine, Reynolds, Richland, Sidney, and Winfield townships. Surrounding these townships are vibrant unincorporated communities and census-designated places such as Amble, Cedar Lake, Conger, Coral, Crystal, Entrican, Fenwick, Gowen, Langston, Sidney, Six Lakes, Trufant, Vestaburg, Westville, and Wyman.
