From Wetland-Adjacent Farms to a Boom Township
The Legislative Council approved Macomb Township on March 7, 1834, and German immigrant farmers settled it through the 1830s and 40s, drawn by fertile ground near the Clinton River. The terrain here is a mix of flat, fertile land and swampy wetland, and as farms gave way to subdivisions starting in the 1980s, the township has suburbanized rapidly -- population grew from about 50,478 in 2000 to roughly 91,663 by 2020.
New Construction on Historically Wet Ground
Because much of Macomb Township's land was swampy before development, newer subdivisions built on formerly wetland-adjacent parcels can see slower-draining ground and higher water tables than areas that were always well-drained farmland -- a detail worth raising during a water-damage assessment here.
