    Here are the boundaries of the Ford Homes District, from its website:

    Between January and May 1919 the Dearborn Realty and Construction Co. purchased 312 lots in the J.B. Molony Subdivision. The subdivision was bounded by the Michigan Central Railroad tracks, Military [[then Lapham),Nowlin and Monroe.

    The Aviation Subdivision and Springwells Park neighborhood also have websites, but their boundaries weren't prominent. Maybe you could find them with a little more time. Dearborn also has an historic neighborhood around Oakwood-Monroe and Michigan, on both sides of Michigan. Lots of old homes and even a building [[Dearborn Records) that dates to the 1830s, and the old commandant's home across the street. But I don't know if it that area has a name.

    Thank you, Carey. I knew of the Ford Historic Homes District, but didn't know about the others.

    Appreciate you sharing more info on Dearborn's many historical neighborhoods.
