History of Dearborn

The area where Dearborn now stands was inhabited by the Potawatomi and Miami Native American tribes prior to European settlement. Land speculator Orestes Hough platted the original village of Dearbornville in 1833. It was incorporated as a village in 1893 and as a city in 1927. Early town growth was spurred by its location along railroad lines connecting Detroit and Chicago.

Henry Ford established his famous automobile company in Dearborn in 1903, building his first Model T there in 1908. Ford's presence stimulated enormous growth in Dearborn and shaped its identity as an industrial hub. Dearborn remains the world headquarters for Ford to this day.
