Dearborn is the 10th largest city in Michigan. The area was settled in 1786, incorporated as a village in 1893, and became a city on February 14, 1927. The area is most famously known for being the hometown of Henry Ford.
Dating back to its early years, Dearborn has earned a reputation for preserving its beauty and sustaining the environment. While the world is aware of Henry Ford's automotive and manufacturing genius, many are unaware that almost a century ago he developed plastics made from existing agricultural feedstock and shared his vision for the environment including biofuels and bioplastics.
Today, Dearborn's landscape is a blending of tree-lined neighborhoods with parks, green beltways, fields of sunflowers, bike and nature paths, and a variety of conservation and restoration projects along the Rouge River. Whether you walk or drive around Dearborn, there is a wealth of opportunity to enjoy and benefit from the City's natural resources.
Ok, work isn’t where you want to spend all of your time in Dearborn, but everyone has to work, right? So, why not look for employment in a city you love! Everyone knows that Ford Motor Company and AAA – Michigan are located here, but there are 4,000 other businesses in the city that you could work for.

Your money is valuable, and so is your time! Who wants to spend $20 in gas and 2 hours in the car each day just getting to and from work? No one! Dearborn offers a wide variety of housing options….houses, townhouses, and condos…they are all here. Oh, and even some of those million dollar estates for when you make it big!
PLAY...
Everyone likes to have fun, and Dearborn is the type of city where there is something to do for everyone! Parks, playgrounds, and pools are all a great way for spending an afternoon. If that isn’t your cup of tea (or coffee), then you can stop in at a coffee shop, or grab a yummy meal at any one of the MANY restaurants in the area. Once you’ve satisfied your stomach, it’s time to burn off some of those calories by walking around the mall or visiting a museum. What? A museum isn’t enough culture for ya? Dearborn has more! You can catch a play or musical at the local community theater, or take in a professional show at the city’s 1,201 seat theater.
