Baroda History in brief: In 1889 the Indiana and
Lake Michigan Railway Company built a railroad from South
Bend to St Joseph.
Baroda was one of several
communities established along the railroad track. It was the second village
within Lake Township,
and competition between Baroda
and Bridgman led to increasing tension and ill-feelings between them. In
October 1923, Lake Township
was split, the eastern half became Baroda
Township. The decision finally
brought peace between Baroda
and Bridgman. Today Baroda and Lake
Charter Townships
share a police department.
