Detroit also annex what's left of Springwells TWP in 1913, Del-Rey in after 1910 and the piece of Lonyo to Wyoming Streets in 1917.

Fordson Village and parts of Dearborn TWP. was annexed to Dearbornville in after 1920 and thus the City of Dearborn was born. It was meant to keep Detroit from annexing the Aviation Sub-Division.

Henry Ford threaten to have all of Dearborn annexed to Detroit if he doesn't have his Rouge Plant built near the Rouge River Industrial Complex. So the City of Dearborn let Ford built his plant.
