In Your Neighborhood: Discover the vibrant community of Canton Township

Canton Township, located between Ann Arbor and Detroit, evolved from its early days as a farming area when it was known as the "Sweet Corn Capital of Michigan." Established as its own municipality in 1834, the township has grown significantly, with a population nearing 100,000, largely due to the development of I-275 in 1977. Historic sites like Sheldon Corners and Cherry Hill Village mark its rich history, while the Canton–Plymouth Mettetal Airport highlights its agricultural past. Today, Canton Township thrives with community spirit, hosting numerous events and serving as a vibrant part of Metro Detroit.
