According to the book “Michigan Place Names” by Walter Romig, the area that would become Charlotte was owned by the U.S. Government until 1832. This is when George Barnes purchased the land. Barnes in turn sold the land to Edmond B. Bostwick, a land speculator from New York City three years later in 1835. Bostwick then sold a portion of the land to H.I. Lawrence, Townsend Harris and Francis Cochran. These four men can be credited for developing the village. They named the village after Bostwick’s wife, Charlotte. Jonathan Searles became the first postmaster on March 17, 1838.
