The township was organized in 1837, with the second settler, Nathaniel Smith, elected supervisor.[4] In 1851, a sawmill was built by John Hayes, who sold the mill to Francis Otis the next year.[4] On February 14, 1855, the post office opened with postmaster John Crawford. On April 5, 1861, the post office was renamed to Otisville.[4] The village was platted by William F. Otis and T.D. Crocker in 1863. In 1874, a station opened by the Pere Marquette Railway in the village.[4]

The Village of Otisville was incorporated in 1877.[4]
