Oakland County
Oakland County began as a settlement where the Saginaw Trail crossed the Clinton River in 1818. Oakland County was officially organized soon after and was named for the beautiful oak trees it possessed.
Oakland County developed due to productive agriculture as it's base. Eventually roads were built and the rest is history.
Today the agriculture of Oakland County has been overshadowed by its industrial and residential growth. The result is a mixture of big city, suburban, and rural lifestyles. The huge system of metro and state parks include 6 state recreation areas, 3 state parks, and 2 metroparks providing Michigan's second largest population with picnic, boating and recreation opportunities. The developed areas have a variety of excellent upscale shopping and lots of thriving places to live and work.
