Not to be confused with Plainfield Township near Grand Rapids, the small town of Plainfield sits near Stockbridge. The first settler came to Plainfield in 1835 and the town was originally called Dyersburg for the second settler Phillip Dyer. When it was given a post office it was named Plainfield after Plainfield NJ. There are a few houses in the little town of Plainfield and this old store with an Alis Chalmers sign.
