The Village of Fowlerville is located on Livingston County's western border in Handy Township. It is easily accessed from I-96, a mile to the south.

Fowlerville's economic support comes primarily from its location as a bedroom community to the greater Lansing area, several small manufacturing facilities, a local grain elevator servicing the local farmers, and lodging/hospitality along the I-96 corridor.

Fowlerville's downtown area has been carefully preserved and retains much of its turn-of-the-century architecture.
