Northville, Michigan
Northville is a city in Wayne and Oakland counties in the U.S. state of Michigan.Many of these first settlers were originally from central and western New York State, with ancestors in New England.Among these early settlers were Alanson Aldrich, followed by Alvale Smith, who sold his property to John Miller.A tailor, tavern, shoe shop, and two blacksmiths also started business in the village.Many of Northville's first settlers' surnames became namesakes for contemporary street names today.[6] By the end of the nineteenth century, it had established a public school system headed by a superintendent.In 1944, Northville Downs opened as the first nighttime harness racing track in Michigan.The Downs were built on the site of the former Wayne County Fair, where Joe Louis trained in 1939 for his World Championship later that same year.Northville Downs stayed in continuous operation from 1944 to 2024 and was located at the corner of Center Street and 7 Mile Road.The city has also annexed small portions of Northville Township, the most recent of which was an expansion of the Rural Hill Cemetery.The most recent annexation was permitted by the Township in order for the city to expand the city-owned and operated cemetery.In 1889, the Ladies Library Association was organized by Mary Lapham, and had 1,200 books and 150 members by 1892.[6] In 1975, the library moved again temporarily to the Northville Square Mall; in 1980 it returned to City Hall.[10] In 1972, the historic Mill Race Village was opened on the site of John Miller's gristmill, made possible by a donation from Ford Motor Company.32.3% of all households were made up of individuals, and 11.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.[23] Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church originated when a priest came to give mass on May 25, 1887.
