The community is located in Baltimore Township, along the Skunk River.[3] Lowell is at the intersection of New London and Salem Roads, south of New London. Lowell is at an elevation of 584 feet (178 m).[4]
The village was laid out by a man named McCarver. At one time, Lowell had Presbyterian and Methodist congregations, two fraternal lodges, two gristmills, and five sawmills. The relatively large number of sawmills was due to Baltimore Township being two-thirds timber.[3] The first mill in town was established by Major Smith and Thomas Angel in 1838.[5]
Lowell's population in 1915 was 105.[6]
