History
Haring was first settled as early as 1872 around a mill operated by George A. Mitchell and Johnathon Cobbs. It later served as a railway station along Clam Lake (now known as Lake Cadillac). The early community was known as Linden when the post office was established on December 18, 1872. The post office and community were later renamed Haring after the township, and the post office operated until November 14, 1891.{{cite book |first1=Walter |last1=Romig |title=Michigan Place Names: The History of the Founding and the Naming of More Than Five Thousand Past and Present Michigan Communities |type=Paperback |orig-date= 1973 |date=October 1, 1986 |publisher=Wayne State University Press |isbn = 978-0-8143-1838-6 |location=Detroit, Michigan| page=252}}
