Forest Hills Summary
History
The area now known as Forest Hills, Michigan was first settled in the early 1800s by a group of settlers from New York. The settlers were attracted to the area due to its abundance of natural resources, including timber and fertile soil. The first settlers built a small log cabin and began to clear the land for farming. The area was originally known as "Foster's Corners" after the first settler, John Foster.
In 1837, the area was officially incorporated as the Township of Forest Hills. The name was chosen to reflect the abundance of trees in the area. The first post office was established in 1838 and the first school was built in 1841.
The area continued to grow and prosper throughout the 19th century. In 1871, the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad was built through the area, connecting it to the larger cities of Grand Rapids and Detroit. This allowed for increased trade and commerce, and the area began to develop into a small rural community.
In the early 20th century, the area began to experience rapid growth. The population increased from 1,000 in 1900 to over 10,000 by 1950. This growth was largely due to the development of the automobile industry in the area. The area was home to several auto parts manufacturers, as well as the headquarters of the Hudson Motor Car Company.
