City of Olivet, 117 S. Main St., Olivet, MI 49076 P.O. Box 367(269) 749-4961
Welcome to the City of Olivet website. If you're not familiar with the City of Olivet, it's located in the southwest part of Michigan, and consumes a one-square mile of land in Eaton County. Though a one-square mile of land is not big by any stretch of the imagination, the quaility of life mixed with the beauty of the Michigan Great Outdoors makes it seem a whole lot bigger.
Well the seasonal parking restrictions are over, which means we are that much closer to summer. But as a reminder, areas around the college campus are posted with No Parking Between 2AM - 6AM, and are enforced all year long.

With everyone wanting to be outside enjoying the weather, a popular evening activity is sitting around a bonfire with family and friends. But as a reminder, if you're planning a bonfire with family and friends, you must obtain a Burn Permit from the City Clerk, and adhere to all of the rules and requirments set forth by the permit. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT ISSUE BURN PERMITS.
Well it's time to "Play ball," and there's nothing like watching the little ones round the bases in the opposite direction, as they learn the fundamentals of America's Favorite Past Time. But as a reminder,  when playing on the field behind the Olivet Fire Station, there's no parking allowed in the station's parking lot. Though the department is all for youth activities, if an emergency should arise they would need the parking lot for fire and personal vehicle traffic. This is true for any activity taking place in the area of the fire station.
July is coming up quick, and you know what that means. That's right, Fire Fest. So get a hold of your relatives, and have them plan on staying at your house during the last weekend of July. Unless of course you don't want them to have fun. As a reminder, the Fire Fighter's Association will start selling raffle tickets before festival weekend, up until the drawing Saturday night. Please show your support by purchasing as many as you can, and don't forget to tell others to do the same. The fire fighters will appreciate any and all support.  See the Olivet Fire Department page for more details.
If you walk down the tree lined streets of Olivet, you'll see the pride residence take in their homes, while at the same time feeling the comfort of the Small Town Atmosphere.
Another great aspect of Olivet is the educational experience from K through 12. Children living in the Olivet school district or attending Olivet Public Schools through 'School of Choice', start out at Fern Persons Elementary where they are taught and nurtured by dedicated teachers. By the third grade they are literate, respectful young Eagles, and are prepared for math and other subjects that can be challenging as they progress through their scholastic career.

Olivets K-12 education is no doubt among the best, but that's not the only educational advantage available to the youth. Olivet is also home to Olivet College, which means graduating Eagles have the opportunity to attend a four year university without leaving home.
One of the parks in Olivet is by far the most fun, and is hands-down the most special.

Formally known as Independence Park, Trenton Shrontz Memorial Park is the fruit of community sweat and tears, and named after a local young man who passed unexpectedly.
Though Olivet does have employment opportunity, its pretty limited to say the least; as you can expect with a town limited to one-sqaure mile. Luckily for our residents, Olivet is located near several large cities with ample employment, and the best part is they are a short commute away.

As for entertainment, these same larger cities offers a variety of activities for both young and old, and whether you have a little or a lot of money there's something for everyone.
In addition to Trenton Shrontz Memorial Park there's a public baseball field, basketball courts, and a pool and outside tennis courts that Olivet College has opened up for public use.
Trenton Shrontz will never be forgotten by this community thanks to the Shrontz family's generous donation, as well as donations by local businesses, and individual donations from caring citizens. In addition to the monetary donations given out of generousity by so many, the Shrontz family along with the community chipped in and helped build this visual memory.
