City of Dearborn
Dearborn is perhaps best known as the location for Ford Motor Company's World Headquarters, the hub of an industrial empire founded in 1903 by Henry Ford. Major tourist attraction such as Greenfield Village, The Henry Ford Museum, and Henry Ford Estate/Fairlane Mansion annually draw over a million visitors from all over the world. There are four major areas in Dearborn's history; the building of the Detroit Arsenal by the U.S. Army in the 1830's; the construction of the Rouge Plant by Henry Ford in 1917, and the subsequent consolidation of two townships into the City of Dearborn in 1929, a period of growth following World War II marked by a growing reputation for clean surroundings, excellent schools and public services, and low taxes; finally, the construction of the Fairlane Development by Ford Motor Land Development Corporation starting in 1970.
