City of River Rouge
It was one of the first communities to become industrialized which stemmed from its unique location to early water transportation and later the railroad. The City is completely developed in industrial and residential uses with commercial activity confined mainly to West Jefferson Avenue. Part of Great Lakes Steel Company's operations are located in the City. Zug Island, formed as a result of a deepwater canal linking the Rouge and Detroit Rivers, is occupied entirely by heavy industry. The city has good access to the region via Jefferson Avenue and the several major avenues connecting it to the state and federal highways.
