Old Homestead, Southgate, Michigan

Old Homestead was originally platted in 1923 as a subdivision of Ecorse Township, however, for approximately the next two decades, it continued to remain mostly agricultural land. From this original plat, only four of the residential streets-Sycamore, Chestnut, Commonwealth and Superior Streets-retain their original names. In 1958, the remaining areas of Ecorse Township were incorporated as the city of Southgate-this included Old Homestead. ==Public transportation==
