History
Advance was settled in Eveline Township as early as 1865 along the shores of Pine Lake (now known as Lake Charlevoix) about 12.0 miles (19.3 km) from Charlevoix. A post office in Advance began operating on October 20, 1870. In 1877, the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad opened a depot in Advance, and the community recorded a population of 10 at the time. By 1905, the community recorded a population of 105. The post office was disestablished on October 15, 1906. When the depot closed, the community soon dwindled and recorded 62 residents in 1910.[3][4]
The community of Advance was listed as a newly defined census designated place for the 2010 census, meaning it now has officially defined boundaries and population statistics for the first time.[5]
