Obscure neighorboods of the City

[Hermod]

Anybody ever hear of a former community on the West Side called Howlett? A friend had an old envelope postmarked from there.

I have always been interested in the part of Detroit across the Rouge River from Detroit that seems as if it should be a part of Dearborn Hts. Anyone know this area? I believe Google calls it Parkland.

Howlett was a stop on the Grand River Line [[Detroit-Farmington) of the DUR. It was bounded by Livernois on the west, Dexter on the east, Fullerton on the north, and Joy Road on the south. It had a total population around 400 at the turn of the century. Grand River was the last of Detroit's 'radial roads" to be populated.

Rose Hill was in the vicinity of Schoolcraft and Grand River.
