註釋Known as Beebe's Corners in the early 1800s, the city of Warren has grown to

become the third-largest city in Michigan, surrounding Center Line--the city

within the city. Warren's history has something for everyone. A pioneer burial ground

was discovered on school property in the 1970s, and an old Norway spruce still points

the way for a vanished tribe. In the 1920s, the Warren cooperative supplied goods

to a growing community, and the first African American cemetery in the state was

established as well. Warren's General Motors Tech Center was dubbed "the Versailles of

Industry" in the mid-20th century; in addition to a worldwide radio broadcast, a crowd

of 5,000 attended the dedication ceremony, including Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower. The

Chrysler tank arsenal helped to end World War II. World-renowned architects Eero

Saarinen and Albert Kahn designed commercial and residential structures in Warren

and Center Line. Places of worship represent all faiths, and a top-notch school system

serves Warren--testaments to the culture of this community.
