Grass Lake is a village located in Jackson County, Michigan. As of the 2000 census, the village had a total population of 1,082.
Grass Lake was first settled in 1829 by David Sterling, whose family moved here from Niagara County, New York.
In 1842, the coming of the railroad helped make Grass Lake a permanent community when they built a station here: it stands, well-preserved, along the still active rail line to the east of town.
Grass Lake was named for the shallow, marshy lake just to its north.
Today the greater Grass Lake area includes the Village of Grass Lake, Grass Lake Township, and parts of the Waterloo Recreational Area north of I-94.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 2.5 km2 (1.0 mi2). 2.5 km2 (1.0 mi2) of it is land and none of it is covered by water.
