Established in 1881, Briley Township was one of the three original townships in Montmorency County, but is now one of eight. It is a General Law Township with a land area of 68.4 square miles. Its population according to the 2000 census is 2,029 persons, an increase of 11% from 1990 when the census recorded 1,831.

Briley Township, home to the unincorporated village of Atlanta, is located on the 45th Parallel. This latitudinal line which marks equal distance between the Equator and the North Pole, passes through the community and divides the northern half of the township from the southern half. Atlanta is the only town in Michigan that actually sits on the 45th Parallel.

The town of Atlanta was incorporated as a village for a short time in the 1800’s, but has since reverted to township government. Atlanta was named the county seat by an election vote in 1893, and by an act of the Legislature in 1986 received its official designation as the “Elk Capital of Michigan.”
