Situated at the intersection of the Upper, Middle and Lower branches of the Rouge River, not far from the major metropolis of Detroit, you’ll find the quieter, yet equally vibrant Dearborn, Michigan.
Though nearby Detroit was discovered more than 80 years earlier by the French explorer Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, the area now known as Dearborn was not formally settled until 1783. As the birthplace of Henry Ford, the former farming community would later give rise to the innovative spirit that revolutionized travel and sent the country breezing into the 1920’s and beyond.
Today, that same inventive drive is still alive and well in Dearborn. As world headquarters to the Ford Motor Company and the home of The Henry Ford Museum, the nation’s largest indoor-outdoor historical/entertainment complex, Dearborn is a unique community full of business, retail, residential and recreational opportunities.
