Fowlerville is located on Livingston County�s western border in Handy Township, easily accessed off of I-96, which runs a mile to the south. Its economic support comes primarily from its location as a bedroom community to the greater Lansing area. It also is supported by small manufacturing facilities, a local grain elevator and lodging/hospitality along the I-96 corridor. Its downtown area has been carefully preserved and retains much of its turn-of-the-century architecture.

This area was first settled by Ralph Fowler in 1836. A small community named Cedar was established shortly afterwards, growing large enough to have a post office by 1838. In 1849, Fowler hired an Amos Adams to officially plat the village; it was subsequently renamed Fowlerville in 1853. It was eventually organized as a village in 1871.
