How It All Began In St Clair Shores
St. Clair Shores was first settled by French families starting in 1790, who built cottages along the shoreline. St. Clair Shores is in Macomb County Michigan. A suburb of Detroit, St. Clair Shores is roughly 14 miles northeast of downtown Detroit. From 1927 until 1959, the community was the location of the Jefferson Beach Amusement Park, a lakefront attraction for the Detroit area and beyond. Opened in 1927, it boasted the longest roller coaster in the United States and numerous other midway attractions, a large, ornate lakefront dance pavilion, and a large, sandy beach popular with swimmers and sunbathers. In 1955, a fire destroyed some of the attractions and buildings within the once-popular park. As of the 2020 census, the city had a population of 58,874
