DEARBORN TOWNSHIP
History of Detroit and Wayne County and Early Michigan
By Silas Farmer 1890
Transcribed by Christine Walters
This township originally formed part of the
township of Bucklin, which was created by Act of
April 12, 1827, the first township meeting being
held on the last Monday of May, 1827, at the house
of William Hickcox. Dearborn township was created by Act of March 9. 1833. and the first meeting
to organize the township was held at the house of
Conrad Ten Eyck. As the township of Nankin had
been organized four years previous, the records of
the original township of Bucklin are given in connection with the history of Nankin township.
The township was named Dearborn, in honor of
Henry Dearborn, a distinguished United States General in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.
At the time of the first settlement of the township,
game of all kinds, especially deer, bears, wolves, and wild turkeys, were very plentiful. There was
also no lack of sweets in the forest, for maple trees
were abundant, and some families made hundreds
of pounds of maple sugar every year. Wild honey
bees were also common, and many immense hollow
trees were often found filled with stores of honey.
The population of the township in 1850 was 1,385;
in 1860, 1,546; in 1870, 2,302; in 1880. 2,094. The
valuation of the property of the township in the
several decades was as follows: 1840, $176,282;
1850. $82,915; I860, $289.686; 1870, $335,524:
1880, $1,153,990.
The educational facilities in the township consist
of six brick and two frame houses, with a seating
capacity of 630, and costing $8,425. The schools,
in 1888, had an enrollment of 782, with an average
