First Settled in 1839 as North Walker Township
Solomon Wright II settled the land that became Comstock Park in 1839, then part of North Walker Township; Alpine Township formed from its northern half in 1847, taking its name from the area's dense pine forests, and the community became Comstock Park in 1906, named for former U.S. Representative Charles C. Comstock.
Foundations on Long-Settled Township Land
Because Comstock Park grew as an unincorporated community across parts of both Alpine and Plainfield Charter townships rather than under a single city building code, foundation and grading standards can vary by which township originally governed a given parcel, worth checking before a repair plan is finalized.
