History of Macomb County
The Ojibwe lived in the area for centuries before European contact and were preceded by other cultures of ancient indigenous peoples. The first European colonists were French, and they arrived in the area during the 17th century. Other early settlers were French fur trappers, who sometimes married Ojibwe women and Jesuit missionaries. A Moravian colony was established in the county in the late 18th century. In addition to the original French and English settlers, later immigrants included Germans, Belgians, and others from Europe. In the 19th century, the county received many European-American migrants from New York and New England, who were attracted to the area for land and booming jobs in the lumber and other resource industries. Macomb County was formally organized on January 15, 1818, as the third county in the Michigan Territory.
