Downtown Dearborn Authority Documents
Dearborn, the birthplace of Henry Ford, is steeped in history but far from old-fashioned with its vibrant tapestry of people, cultures, flavors, businesses, and neighborhoods that continue to shape the world.
Dearborn has grown steadily from industrialization in the late 1800s to current day and is currently the eighth largest city in the State of Michigan, and, the second largest in Wayne County with nearly 100,000 residents.
Only in Dearborn can you go from urban, compact downtowns to quaint neighborhoods, natural wildlife, outdoor recreation and stately homes all within 26 square miles.
Ideally located between Detroit and the Metro Detroit Airport along historic Michigan Avenue, Dearborn’s two downtown districts that developed out of the historic merger of Dearborn and Dearborn Township in 1929 are uniquely positioned for economic growth.
Major tourist attractions like The Henry Ford and the Arab American National Museum attract more than two million visitors annually, and, daily, over 50,000 employees and college students are commuting in and around our downtowns, Downtown Dearborn is a regional destination for tourism, arts, higher education and employment.
The City of Dearborn is a Michigan Redevelopment Ready Community, certified by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC). We are here to assist and encourage development within our community by providing a carefully streamlined process to help business thrive.
