| About
Oakland County |
| Oakland
County began as a settlement where the Saginaw Trail crossed the
Clinton River in 1818. One year later on January 12, 1819, Oakland
County was officially organized and was named for its beautiful
oak trees. Oakland County was not heavily wooded enough to attract
many lumbermen, and settlement was slow at first. Oakland County's
agriculture was productive, however, and when roads and railroads
to the north were built, the county was able to trade with the lumber
areas.
Today the
excellent 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. A superior system
of parks includes 6 state recreation areas, 3 state parks, and
2 metroparks providing Michigan's second largest population with
an abundance of leisure opportunities.
