The area that is now Dearborn, Michigan (population: 97,775)
was first settled in 1786. It is a city rich in history. It is the hometown
of Henry Ford, who built Fair Lane, one of America's most beautiful
and impressive homes.
Because of the significant impact made on the City by
Henry Ford, Ford Motor Company - not surprisingly - has its world headquarters
here. The City is also home to other major corporations as well as,
institutions of higher learning: the University of Michigan-Dearborn,
Davenport University, and Henry Ford Community College.
Dearborn is currently in the midst of a renaissance. Its
East and West downtown districts are witnessing the arrival of new businesses,
new upscale housing, as well as the reinvestment of millions of dollars
from the private sector and the City itself.
Because Dearborn is a major Southeastern Michigan employment
and educational center, the City's daytime population swells to more
than 300,000 people.
Dearborn's population represents more than 80 different
nationalities, cultures and ethnicities. Its rich diversity has enhanced
the City's attraction as a great place to do business, visit, work and
raise a family.
Among the City's attractions are the world-renowned The Henry
Ford, Fairlane Town
Center and Dearborn's Ford Community & Performing Arts Center.
