The village of Montrose was incorporated from a portion of the township in 1899. Today, the City of Montrose is supported by local agriculture and commuter traffic to the greater Flint area. It has its own school system. Since 1972, it has held the Montrose Blueberry Festival annually, every third weekend in August.
