Immerse yourself in Michigan’s long and distinguished history with the automotive industry in Shelby Township, a suburb outside busy Detroit where the landscape of modern vehicles has evolved and where the city overflows into a wholesome residential community. Fifteen minutes north of Detroit is one of the areas fastest-growing populations, seeking a calm escape from the Motor City’s constant action.
Packard Proving Grounds put Shelby Township on the map in 1927 as an important site for research and development as it became a dedicated testing site for Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit to evaluate new features away from the prying eyes of spying competitors. Now the most significant portions have been preserved, and the site has been added to the National Register of Historic Places as part of the MotorCities National Heritage Area.
But Shelby Township is more than just a piece of automotive history; it’s an active community that provides a comfortable way of life for its residents. The local Parks and Recreation department provides safe and beautiful outdoor spaces where locals can enjoy the beauty of the region. Visit River Bends Park to hike the trails, fish the waters, and even play a round of disc golf. More outdoor activities await at Stony Creek Metropark, so hit the beaches, get out on a boat, or even play a round of golf before Michigan’s chilly winters keep you inside.
Local youth are well-served by the public school systems, and most attend Utica Community Schools, though some are districted to Romeo Community Schools instead. While Michigan offers choice programs to its residents, there’s no need to travel for a great education. Local Eisenhower High School is among the top 11% of schools in Michigan and joins Crissman Elementary as the top ranked schools locally.
After school, you can hop in the car and head to retail bliss at Lakeside Mall in nearby Sterling Heights, once part of Shelby Township, or to The Mall at Partridge Creek in Clinton Township. For local shopping, plenty of chain stores are available in town. On your way home, stop in at Art & Jake’s Sports Bar & Grill, or just leave the kids with a sitter and take advantage of the hometown adult beverages at Brooks Brewing or Michigan By the Bottle Tasting Room.
