LAPEER CHANGES WITH THE CENTURY In 1924, a new Lapeer Senior High School (presently known as White Junior High) was built to serve the county’s growing population. A year earlier, Lapeer was fortunate to acquire one of the last Carnegie libraries built in the United States as the Lapeer Public Library. After WWII, many of the people of Lapeer began to leave the farm to work in automobile factories or at the Lapeer State Home, although Lapeer remained, basically an agricultural community. During these post-war years the Lapeer High School enrollment climbed and with it, the number of talented students in the areas of art, music, the sciences, mathamatics, the humanities and sports. As Lapeer moved into the sixties, another new Lapeer Senior High school (now Lapeer West) was built to accommodate the school system’s skyrocketing enrollment.

Hart built court houses, each hoping that the county supervisors would choose his. Mr. Hart’s court house was chosen and is still in use today. The Whites turned their court house into the Lapeer Academy, the first school building in Lapeer (the present site of the Administration Building). Lapeer and Whitesville were incorporated into the village of Lapeer in 1857 and into a city in 1869. The Lapeer Academy became the property of the Lapeer School District in 1863 and was used as the Lapeer Union School until it was tom down and replaced by the first Lapeer High School in 1875. Lumber was king in the early days of Lapeer County. The Northern 2 3 of the county was covered by white pine forests. The Whites built the first sawmill in 1832 and by 1872 there were 34 lumber manufactures in the county. 1880 saw the end of the lumbering boom and Lapeer settled down to become a farm community of about 3,000 people. In 1895 the Lapeer State Home and Training School (Now Oakdale Center for Children with Developmental Disabilities) opened. It was the first such facility built in Michigan. Lapeer continued to grow in population, and prosper as an agriculturally oriented community.
