The city of Northville is a distinctive community of approximately 6,500 residents located on
the western fringe of the Detroit
area. The city was incorporated as
a village in 1867 and as a city in

equally divided between Wayne

30 minutes from downtown
Detroit and 25 minutes from

The Northville area is known for
its rolling hills and attractive
countryside. The city retains a
small-town atmosphere with
stately Victorian-era architecture
in its historic district and well-kept
older homes built before the
1930s. The housing mixture includes single-family residences,

www.twp.northville.mi.us
The Charter Township of Northville is a vibrant, safe and attractive community.
Northville Township was established in 1898 and became a
charter township in 1985. What
was once a quaint farming region
is today a thriving residential and
business community. Throughout
Northville Township, signs of the
community’s rural heritage still
exist, including rambling farm
houses on unpaved roads, traditional neighborhoods and an open
landscape. Today, Northville
Township’s master plan allows for
planned growth that preserves
wooded areas and open space and
protects waterways.

Rouge River Watershed
The Rouge Watershed is approximately 483 square miles and
includes 48 municipalities in three
counties, spans a population of 1.5
million people and is more than 50
percent urbanized. There are more
than 400 lakes, impoundments
and ponds in the watershed.
Northville Township would like all
of its residents to be aware of the
natural features we have in the
Township. This includes the Rouge
River and Johnson Creek. Protecting these waterways from contamination is a job that belongs to
all residents. Rouge Rescue in
Northville Township provides
residents with an opportunity to
connect with these waterways.

enforcement of the law is an
important tool in providing public

Township Fire Department continues to strive toward professional development and is committed
to providing the best level of
public service available. The fire
department is licensed to provide
advanced life support (ALS), and
its members are paramedics. This is
a comprehensive service that
includes response and transport
for those requiring the service. The
Department continually trains it
personnel in all aspects of the fire
service which includes firefighting,
fire prevention, EMS, and special
rescue. The training involves the
maintenance of existing skills and
the development of emerging
competencies to address changing
emergencies. For fire departments
to be most effective they must
respond with the best people,
trained properly and continually,
with the tools needed in the
moments that matter. Due to an
increase in population, run volume, and overall township
growth, the fire department is
committed to elevating its level of
service in all areas of emergency
response.
