Geography of Woodland
Woodland is in the northeast part of Barry County. It covers a total area of about 0.82 square miles (2.12 square kilometers), and all of this area is land.
This small town is mainly a farming area. It also serves as a "bedroom community." This means many people who live in Woodland travel to bigger cities like Lansing or Grand Rapids for work. Woodland has its own local government and an elementary school for younger students.
Woodland was first settled in 1837 by Charles and Jonathon Galloway, and Charles Haight. The area and the township were named "Woodland" because of the many thick forests that used to be there. The Chicago, Kalamazoo and Saginaw Railway train line came through in 1889. This helped the village grow a lot. Woodland officially became a village in 1892.
