The intro paragraph proposed by bkonrad is too verbose and tells nothing about the character of the area; the Green Lake Township link he proposes gives organizational details and nothing more. EVERY town in the U.S. is part of a township and/or county. Every township is part of a county. Almost every county is part of a state. Putting this minutiae in the intro paragraph is ridiculous compared to the more useful paragraph I've written.
The advantages of my paragraph are: a) they actually tell you WHERE it is (you can look at a map and point at it roughly) and b) the link provides information about the area and culture.
Since location and culture are better *introductory* information than some verbose babbling about its organizational structure, it is now and will continue to be the introductory paragraph.

Would be interested to hear something about the name? Sounds like some european settler wanted to make the town name Interlaken (between the seas) better pronouncable? -- 2003:C3:7BC7:6500:E197:8EB7:FA13:26E9 ( talk) 06:06, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
I am interested in the name, too. I think it pretty self-evident that is has been taken from the Swiss town of Interlaken that is placed exactly like Interlochen is between two lakes. Anybody know about who came up with Interlaken and when it was changed to Interlochen? -- Anvilaquarius ( talk) 10:00, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
