History

Lupton was first settled by several Quaker families from Ohio, including that of Emmor Lupton in 1880. It was first known as "Lane Heights" and given a post office as "Lane" in April 1881. A depot on the Detroit, Bay City and Alpena Railroad was opened in January 1893. The post office was renamed Lupton in June 1893.[5]

The community of Lupton was listed as a newly-organized census-designated place for the 2010 census, meaning it now has officially defined boundaries and population statistics for the first time.[6]
