Around Oakwood Heights
Oakwood Heights is a vibrant community home to industry and small business that has existed since the 1800’s.
There are raw materials produced and refined, machine parts manufactured and distributed, goods shipped on rail and on water, autos and trucks repaired and sold, food produced and served, and establishments for entertainment in our district.
This business community also resources homes, churches, and schools that followed the development of an industrial base as Detroit grew in the 1900’s.
Home to waves of migrants from France, Canada, England, Poland, Finland, Italy, Africa, and Latin America, Oakwood Heights is a case study of industrial America in the 20th Century, and how jobs bring rich diversity to new areas.
