    St. Lad's History. St. Ladislaus 75th Anniversary Yearbook 1920-1995. Hamtramck, Michigan, p. 7-21. CAP at Orchard Lake. Early Hamtramck Lore The history of St. Ladislaus Parish is closely linked to history of the City of Hamtramck. Indeed, it wouldn't make sense to discuss one without the other. At the turn of the century, Hamtramck was much different from the city that now exists. It was a huge township that extended from the Detroit River to the east, running across Base Line Road (now Eight Mile Road), westward to Woodward Avenue, and then running south toward its current borders. Hamtramck Township dwarfed the City of Detroit, which had its northern border near Grand Bou- levard. Only in 1924 did Hamtramck reach its current boundaries. At the time, Hamtramck was an important garden community that supplied fresh food to the City of Detroit. Hamtramck was initially attractive to immigrants because it was relatively rural and, therefore, housing was cheap. It remained attractive because several industrial plants had located near the city. These plants, which provided well-paying jobs to relatively unskilled labor, included the Dodge Brothers automobile plant, Briggs Manufacturing, Acme White Lead, American Radiator, Russell Wheel and Foundry, and Chrysler Motor Corporation. The plants and the area were easily accessible by means of the Baker Streetcar Line, which ran along Joseph Campau. As such, the areas near the streetcar line became more densely populated. Moreover, the housing in the city was primarily built to adapt to multiple families. This resulted in a still more dense population, and the need for a central and profitable retail business district along the main street, Joseph Campau.
