The first European-Americans settled around a water-powered mill established by James Fraser around 1855, and later operated by O.A. Ballou. A steam-powered mill was established in the same area by Frederick A. Kaiser shortly afterward.
In 1868, the townsite was platted for O.A. Ballou, John Sutherland, Dennis Stanton, and others, and Mr. Stanton became the first postmaster for the community on March 6, 1868. However, the community was never incorporated as a village.
The Jackson, Lansing & Saginaw (which later became the Midwest Central Railroad) came through in 1871, crossing the Kawkawlin Rover over a small drawbridge, which was replaced by a regular bridge in 1900. The railroad established a station, which led to the community being alternatively known as Kawkawlin Station. The railroad is still active in the community, with the Lake State Railway serving Greene's Gas Company through two sidetracks at Kawkawling since 2020.
