Lapeer is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 9,072. It is the county seat of Lapeer County.

Most of the city was incorporated from land that was formerly in Lapeer Township, though portions were also annexed from Mayfield Township and Elba Township. The city government is politically independent of all three townships. Lapeer is located in southern Michigan, east of Flint, on the Flint River.

For the past 16 years, Lapeer has been a Tree City USA, and has many parks throughout the city, including along the riverside. The parks include a 2.2 mile paved foot path that winds through some of the parks, through wooded areas, and across ponds.

Adjacent to Lapeer’s downtown business district on Nepessing Street, is the Piety Hill Historic District, 29 properties that are largely nineteenth-century dwellings; one-sixth of the buildings are churches. A significant number of the structures are Greek Revival in style, dating from the 1830's through the 1850's. More info
