Deckerville was named for Charles Decker, who came to Marion Township in 1865 and established a lumber business in the area where the village was platted in 1870. On January 3, 1870, a post office was established, with Charles Decker's son, Martin, as postmaster. Near the turn of the 20th century, the Pere Marquette Railroad established a station at Deckerville, which was incorporated as a village in 1893.
Deckerville's peak population was 1,015 in 1990, but it has declined in each census taken since that time.
