Part One: Historic Settlements of Macomb County

There have been many settlements, hamlets and former villages in Macomb County.

Many grew around the railroad lines and were very prosperous for a time. Most of these listed here had a U.S. post office at one time. Some, like Warsaw (now part of Mount Clemens) and Beebe’s Corner (now part of Richmond) were absorbed by other settlements. Some were abandoned due to a natural disaster, such as the flooding of Belvidere. In many cases, remnants of the old settlement remain, such as a cemetery, schoolhouse converted to a residence (Prestonville) or old general store being used as a party store (Davis).

Many have been remembered in other ways, such as Beebe St. Park in Richmond or Waldenburg and Macomb Corners Park in Macomb Township or Milton Meadows, a subdivision in Chesterfield Township. Fittingly, a cemetery is often the only remnant of an extinct community, such as Hart or Prestonville.

Armada Corners

This settlement was located in Armada Township and identified on an 1859 map. It later became more well-known as “Selleck’s Corners,” after “Uncle” John Selleck, a popular local tavern keeper. It was located at 32 Mile and Romeo Plank Roads and included nearby Gilmore Road. It was a stop on the plank road from Mount Clemens to Romeo and at one time had two hotels, a mill, several other businesses and a dance hall.

Base Line (also written as Baseline)

This area was located just north of 8 Mile Road, often referred to as “Baseline Road.” The square-mile settlement was platted and recorded Nov. 2, 1860 and named Base Line because it ran over the approximate location of the surveyor base line for Michigan. They were given a post office on April 25, 1927 (George P. Siagkris was the first postmaster) that lasted until July 31, 1957. Siagkris built the first two-story brick house in the area. The first floor was the post office and stores, the second floor had offices occupied by the first doctors and dentists in the area. The settlement was governed under the township until annexed by Warren in 1957.
