Incorporated in 1962 After 125 Years as a Township
Walker Township was organized in 1837 as Kent County's second township and covered all land north of the Grand River, first settled that year by Samuel and Lydia White; the City of Walker wasn't incorporated until November 8, 1962, after renewed annexation pressure on its industrial land.
Exterior Materials From a Concentrated 1960s Build-Out
Much of Walker's exterior housing stock dates to the years right around its 1962 incorporation, so original siding materials and trim details tend to cluster around early-1960s standards rather than varying widely by decade.
