History

The community was first platted in 1872 by Daniel Matthews, who also worked previously to select Lansing as the state capital. He became the first postmaster when the Carleton post office was established on February 24, 1874. The community was named after Will Carleton, who was a local poet. The community centered along a railway line first built by the Pere Marquette Railway and a junction with Canada Southern Railway, as well as the nearby Pennsylvania Railroad. The village incorporated in 1911.
