History

In 1950 Warren was an incorporated village of one square mile within the boundaries of Warren Township, Macomb County, Michigan. Warren Township is a former Civil township of Macomb County in the U It was centered on the corner of Mound Road and Chicago Road. [3] The village had a population of 582 in 1940 and 727 in 1950. [4]

Warren was incorporated as a city in 1957 and consists of what was previously Warren Township, less the city of Center Line. Center Line is a city in Macomb County in the US state of Michigan. Between 1950 and 1960, Warren's population soared from 42,653 to 89,426. This population explosion was fueled in part by white flight from its southern neighbor of Detroit in that decade. White flight is a term for the demographic trend in which working and Middle-class White people move away from Suburbs This change in population continued into the next decade when the city's population doubled again. As the community has matured, its population has begun to gradually decline.
