We all know how populated major cities are throughout the states, but a lot of people are unaware of the small towns surrounding those major metropolitan areas.
Luckily, if you aren't aware of the smallest town in your state, House Beautiful set out to find the tiniest towns in the United States.
"When it comes to small towns, every state boasts at least one scenic mountain town, one pretty lake town, and one quirky small-town destination, but only one can take the top spot as the absolute teeniest!"
So, what is Michigan's tiniest town?
The tiniest town in Michigan is Pilgrim, with a population of 11.
