Presidential Election Day November 6th

November 4, 2012 By Joe Pagano

Just a reminder, Tuesday is a national election day.  Every 4 years we have an opportunity to make a difference.  On Tuesday all the political advertizing will have vanished into the past, now it is up to US.  Along with the presidential ballot, we will also choose US and State Congress persons and Six State proposals along with Wayne County proposals.  It is predicted that each voter will take several minutes to read through all the proposals and make a choice.  The results will have an effect on us through the next 4 years.

You can call the Flat Rock City Hall for specific information on your poling location and other voting information.  The clerks number is 743-782-2455,

See You At The Poles On Tuesday.

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
