The History of Troy, Michigan
The first land purchases in what became Troy Township were recorded in 1819 in
section 19. The first settlement, known as Troy Corners, originated two years later
when Johnson Niles purchased 160 acres (65 ha) in what is now the north-central
portion of the city. Four years later, Ira Smith built the first house at Big Beaver
Corners, and the first public school opened at Troy Corners. Troy Township was
organized on May 28, 1827. The City of Troy was incorporated in 1955, mainly as a
way to prevent neighboring cities (Clawson, Royal Oak, and Birmingham) from
incorporating any more of its land into their cities.
In 1966, I-75 was completed in Troy, which increased access to and from the city.
This gave a major boost to Troy's economy, leading to the development of its civic
center, school district, and recreation system.
The Troy Historical Museum is a free-to-the-public, town-square-like museum
chronicling the different stages of Troy's progression from first inhabitation to the city
it has become today. Located at the corners of Livernois Road and Wattles Road, the
museum is located behind the old city hall building. Open year round, the museum
has ten original, complete structures which patrons may enter and observe how they
functioned in the past and how they were decorated, as all buildings are full of
artifacts from that period. Each structure is original and was painstakingly moved
from its original location to the museum intact. Starting with a log and mud structure
used by the first settlers, there is also an 18th century schoolhouse and estate, a
general store, a blacksmith's shop, a church along with the pastor's home, and the
old city hall, which acts as a general museum. There is a gazebo in the center of the
square which will host parties and period bands during annual festivities. Many
schools from around the area plan field trips to the museum, and the church is also
available for weddings.
