## History

[edit]

Beebe's Corners, the original settlement in what would become the city of Warren, was founded in 1830 at the corner of Mound Road and Chicago Road; its first resident was Charles Groesbeck.[10] Beebe's Corners was a carriage stop between Detroit and Utica, and included a distillery, mill, tavern, and trading post.[10][11] It was not until 1837 that the now-defunct Warren Township was organized around the settlement, first under the name Hickory, then renamed Aba in April 1838, and finally renamed Warren shortly thereafter.[12] It was named for War of 1812 veteran, and frontier cleric, Rev. Abel Warren. However, when it was originally organized the township was named for Rev. Warren, a Methodist Episcopal preacher who left his native New York in 1824 for Shelby Township. He went throughout the present-day Macomb, Lapeer, Oakland, and St. Clair Counties, baptizing, marrying, and burying pioneers of the area, as well as establishing congregations and preaching extensively.[13] He was the first licensed preacher in the State of Michigan.[14]

Another version of the source of the city's name claims it was "named for General Joseph Warren, who fell at the Battle of Bunker Hill."[15]

The settlement was formally incorporated as the Village of Warren from Warren Township on April 28, 1893, out of one square mile bound by 14 Mile Road and 13 Mile Road to the north and south, and in half-a-mile east and west of Mound Road.[10] The small village grew slowly, and had a population of 582 in 1940 and 727 in 1950, while the larger surrounding township grew at a much quicker pace.[16] Much of this growth was due to the construction of the Chrysler's Truck Assembly plant in 1938, the Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant in 1940 to support the WW II effort, and the General Motors Technical Center between 1949 and 1956.

The Red Run and Bear Creek, just small creeks back in the 1800s, has blossomed into an open major inter-county stormdrain flowing through Warren, into the Clinton River, and onwards to Lake St. Clair.[17]

The Village of Warren and most of the surrounding Township of Warren, together with Van Dyke, incorporated as a city in 1957, less the city of Center Line, which had incorporated as a village from Warren Township in 1925 and as a city in 1936.[12] Between 1950 and 1960, Warren's population soared from 42,653 to 89,426. This population explosion was largely fueled by the post-WWII Baby Boom and later, by white flight from its southern neighbor of Detroit in that decade. This change in population continued into the next decade when the city's population doubled again, ultimately reaching a high of 179,000 in 1970.

Historically, Warren was a sundown town: an all-white municipality that excluded non-whites through a combination of discriminatory practices, local ordinances, and violence.[18][19] In 1970, Warren had a population of 180,000, with only 28 minority families, most of whom lived on a U.S. military base. As late as 1974, African Americans were practically nonexistent in Warren,[20] In 2000 Warren had less than 3% Black population,[20] compared to 80% in adjacent Detroit.[21]

#### 1950 to 1990 censuses

[edit]

There are a number of distinguishing characteristics about Warren which render it unique among American cities of its relative size. Warren was one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the country between 1940 and 1970, roughly doubling its population every 10 years. In 1940 the official population of Warren Township was 22,146; in 1950, it was 42,653; in 1960, after Warren Township had become the City of Warren, population had risen to 89,240; and by 1970 it had grown to 179,260.

In the late 20th century, Warren was one of the fastest-declining cities in population in the country. After peaking in 1970, the city’s population declined by 10% during each of the next two decades (1980: 161,060; 1990: 144,864), then dropped by 4.6% between 1990 and 2000.

In 1970, whites made up 99.5% of the city's total population of 179,270; only 838 non-whites lived within the city limits. In the ensuing two decades the white portion of the city dropped gradually to 98.2% in 1980 and 97.3% as of 1990.

#### First Amendment lawsuit

[edit]

The City of Warren established a Christian prayer station at city hall that is operated by the Pentecostal Tabernacle Church of Warren. Douglas Marshall requested establishing a reason station. Mayor James R. Fouts personally refused to grant Marshall's request in a letter based, in part, on the claim that the station would disrupt those using the prayer station. The American Civil Liberties Union, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and Freedom from Religion Foundation jointly filed a complaint against the city. In 2015 there was a $100,000 judgment against the city government and Mayor James R. Fouts for denying Marshall the right to establish his atheist station.[35][36][37]

Warren Public Library consists of one main library and three branches. The Civic Center Library is located on the ground floor of the city hall. The Arthur Miller Branch is inside the Warren Community Center. The other two branches are the Maybelle Burnette Branch and the Dorothy Busch Branch.[46]

On July 1, 2010, the three branch libraries were closed. On August 3, the Library Millage was approved; as such, these branch libraries reopened later that August.[47]

## Health care

[edit]

The headquarters of the St. John Providence Health System are in the St. John Providence Health Corporate Services Building in Warren.[48]

## Religion

[edit]

St. Martin de Porres Church in Warren

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit operates Catholic Churches.

Our Lady of Grace Vietnamese Parish (Vietnamese: Gx Đức Mẹ Ban Ơn Lành) is in Warren.[49] Our Lady of Grace was previously in Eastpointe, but moved to Warren in 2011 when it merged with St. Cletus Church. St. Cletus had a predominately native-born population and had a declining parishioner base, and it could not find enough priests to staff the facility; meanwhile Our Lady of Grace had an increasing parishioner base and was asking for a larger facility.[50]

Other parishes include St. Faustina Parish,[51] St. Louise de Marillac Parish,[52] St. Mark Parish,[53] St. Martin de Porres Parish,[54] and St. Mary-Our Lady Queen of Families Parish (St. Dorothy Site).[55] St. Mark's first building opened in 1943.[56]

St. Mary, Our Lady Queen of Families was formed by the 2007 merger of Ascension Parish, St. Clement Parish, St. Leonard of Port Maurice Parish, and St. Teresa of Avila Parish. St. Faustina Church formed in 2013 through the merger of St. Edmund Church and St. Sylvester Church.[57]

## Culture and recreation

[edit]

The City of Warren has a Department of Parks and Recreation which oversees the Aquatic, Community, and Fitness Centers along with a system of 24 parks.

The Warren Symphony Orchestra gives several concerts per season, and changed its name to the Warren Symphony Orchestra in 2016.[58][59]

In 2003 the city built a new community center where the old Warren High School had been.[60]

There is also a nine-member Cultural Commission.[61]

Universal Mall, an enclosed shopping mall, was built in the city in 1965. In 2009, it was demolished for a new outdoor shopping center.

The Italian American Cultural Society (IACS) was located in Warren for 20 years. In 2004 it moved to its current location in Clinton Township. Its previous location was sold to a charter school in July 2004.[62]

## Transportation

[edit]

Conrail Shared Assets Operations provides freight rail service to Warren.

Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation provides bus service to Warren.

### Major highways

[edit]

* I-696 (Walter P. Reuther Freeway) cuts east and west through the city.
* M-53 (Van Dyke Avenue), which is also known as the Earle Memorial Highway, runs north and south and (roughly) bisects the city.
* M-97 (Groesbeck Highway) is located in southeast Warren. It comes north from Detroit, and is a fast and wide diagonal connector to northern Macomb County.
* M-102 (8 Mile Road), also known as Base Line Road, is the city's southern border and the Macomb-Wayne county line.

### Unnumbered roads

[edit]

Mound Road is an important north–south artery in the city. East-west travel is mainly on the mile roads. Most notable are 8 Mile Road, which is on the southern border of Warren with Detroit; 11 Mile Road, which serves as a service drive for I-696, and 14 Mile Road, which is on the northern border of Warren with Sterling Heights.

## Historical markers

[edit]

There are nine recognized Michigan historical markers in the city.[63] They are:

* Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant, which built a quarter of the Sherman tanks produced by the United States in World War II and (along with a plant in Lima, Ohio) produced M1 Abrams tanks until 1996.
* Detroit Memorial Park Cemetery, where inventor Elijah McCoy is buried (as noted on the historical marker).[63] Former member of the band The Supremes Florence Ballard is also buried there.
* Erin–Warren Fractional District No. 2 Schoolhouse, technically located in Eastpointe, Michigan but included due to its proximity (both in distance and in history) to Warren.

* John Theisen House
* Village of Warren

The tenth and eleventh markers are technically in Center Line, Michigan but are included because of their proximity (both in distance and in history) to Warren:
