  • History of Grosse Pointe
    GPHS - History of Grosse Pointe The History of Grosse Pointe Portions of this history appeared earlier as the article, "Only Strangers Spoke English." The League of Women Voters was commissioned to create it for use in the Grosse Pointe Rotary Club's 1976 antiques show program. Originally written by Barbara Thompson, this chapter from The League of Women Voters, “Know Your Grosse Pointe”, 2002, was edited and updated by Jean Dodenhoff, then curator of The Society.

Over time, as the lake drained into an evolving Detroit River, the island expanded. Eventually, its northern beach which stretched along Mack Avenue from East Outer Drive to Eleven Mile Road served, in turn, as an Indian pathway, a French settler road and a Grosse Pointe thoroughfare. Early Visitors: Animals and people arrived in Southeastern Michigan between glacial advances. Paleo-Indians, like their descendants, used Lake St. Clair beaches for hunting and trading. Arrow heads and pottery shards left behind have been uncovered by amateur archeologists like Jerry De Visscher, who, as a boy, found many artifacts near Mack Avenue on his father's Cook Road farm. In historical times, the Native Americans were joined by European missionaries and illegal traders/trappers or coureurs de bois. In summer 1669, the Frenchman Adrien Joliet, with his Iroquois guide, was among the first white men to venture into Lake St.
