Quick answers
Questions people ask
What is the most historic town in Michigan?
Lake Orion (Oakland County) ranks first on history among 701 towns, with an A+; Detroit and Hamtramck follow.
How are these towns ranked?
The History grade, a character grade (not part of the overall): the town’s founding era, homes built before 1940 (Census ACS) and its National Register places. Towns are sorted on the grade’s score; the letter and rank are the same as on each town’s page. How grades work.
Why isn’t my town on this list?
The list covers towns of 2,500+ residents with a history grade (701 in Michigan). Smaller towns have the grade on their page but no rank. Every town is on the Michigan page.
