About Woodhaven, MI

Brownstown Township, the nearby township, formerly covered the area that is currently the city of Woodhaven before it was incorporated as a city. The American Industrial Revolution prompted an explosion of manufacturing in Detroit and the surrounding area, making the region a key center for trade and transportation. The eventual emergence of the automobile as the means of personal transportation only heightened this growth and prosperity,making distant regions accessible for the first time, and improving trade and commerce between Detroit and its surrounding communities. It was the beginning of an industrial legacy, and set the stage for Woodhaven's first major steps away from its rural heritage when, in the 1930s, the Mobil Oil Co. built its refinery at the corner of Allen and West Road.
