Obscure neighorboods of the City

[WaCoTS]

a great resource for this topic is the book Detroit Beginnings: Early Villages and Old Neighborhoods of Detroit written in 2001 by Gene Scott, and produced as a Detroit 300 Partners Program of the Detroit Retired City Employees Association

it is uncopyrighted, and looks more like a pamphlet, but it has over 100 pages, and contains maps, pictures, bibliography, and outlines the name & origin of every single old neighborhood [[of which there's 51listed ) or early village [[of which there's 44 listed). there's also an appendix to explain what the names of many of detroit's streets mean, and how they got their name
