Before the Organization, which took place in 1869, Flynn was attached to Elk
Township. The Township was named for Thomas Flynn, who was one of the first
settlers, and the first Supervisor. William Fitch was the first settler,
stopping on section 36 in 1857. William Flynn came about one year later, and
soon after they were joined by William McGregor and R. J. Nicholl. The first
school-house in the Township was a frame built in 1869, at Omard. The rest of
this village consisted of the Post Office.
About the time the Township
was organized a Methodist Church was also established, but no building was
erected, the services were held in the school-house at Omard.

"The Flynn Township Board has adopted a resolution declaring
this design as the township’s official flag. Officials contacted the Sanilac
Career Center’s graphics department for ideas and chose the design created by
Peck student Madison Bezemek with finishing details supplied by
Croswell-Lexington student Erica Collins. The resolution adopted on Sept. 10 is
part of the township’s 150th anniversary celebration"
