Westland Moving Quote
Westland is 16 miles from downtown Detroit. The city had a population
of 86,602 in 2000. Westland is a very diverse area and
there are housing options from $30,000 (in Norwayne) up to $380,000 (in other
areas). There is a big difference in these homes and the surrounding
neighborhoods, but it shows the variety of neighborhoods in the city. Westland is 20 square miles and the
elevation is 666 feet above sea level.
The
area was originally home to the Pottawatomi Indians. There were several
Algonquin tribes that hunted in that area. In 1918, Henry Ford purchased an old
flour mill and restored the property to use it to make stencils for Ford car
parts.
In
1827, the area was organized as Bucklin Township and the following cities
are in the area that was originally designated as Bucklin Township. These cities include: Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, Garden City, Inkster, Livonia, Redford Township, and Wayne.
Bucklin was divided into the Lima and
Richland Townships in 1829. These names were changed to Nankin and Pekin
Township in 1833. Other areas divided off and became independent cities over
the years.
Nankin became the largest township in
the world in the 1960's when the population reached 70,000. Livonia tried to
annex an area of Nankin which contained the Westland Shopping Center. Soon
thereafter, Nankin was incorportated as the city of Westland. It became te
fourth largest city in Wayne County.
