Macomb History:
The early founders of Macomb Township arrived in the early 19th century. They were in search of flat and fertile farmland, like that near the Clinton River. Many of these early settlers were of German descent. The German influences still remain today. The Township of Macomb was officially approved by the Legislative Council on March 7, 1834. Macomb Township was also a large part of the lumber and logging industry of Southeast Michigan in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Logs would be transported south from Wolcott Mill in Ray Township. Then down the Middle Branch Clinton River to sawmills. This route became known as Romeo Plank. It is the name of the modern-day road that runs down the same route.
