Short History of Macomb Township:

By the early 1830's, people began settling in the area now known as Macomb Township. Officially, the Township of Macomb, was erected under the authority of the Legislative Council, and approved on March 7, 1834. The flat land and fertile soil brought in by the Clinton River attracted many German farmers, and even now, Macomb Township retains many of its German influences.

One of the first people to settle in Macomb Township was Daniel Kniffens who acquired land on the Middle Branch of the Clinton River. This area was commonly known as the Village of Macomb Corners and is near the corner of present day 25 Mile and Romeo Plank Roads.

Macomb Township is now on the cutting edge of urban growth with population in excess of 75,000.

Macomb Township is located in the center of Macomb County and the heart of the world. It is one of the fastest growing communities in Macomb County and in the State of Michigan. We offer a good industrial/commercial corridor for growth, carefully balanced with our beautiful residential neighborhoods and wonderful parks.
