Congratulations to Warren: City of the Week with WCSX! According to warrenhistsoc.org, the first landowner to settle in Warren was Charles Groesbeck in 1830. His brother, Louis Groesbeck soon followed.
Originally named Hickory Township, the name was changed to Warren after General Joseph Warren of the American Revolution.
Alex Groesbeck, the grandson of Louis, became the 30th governor of Michigan. It wasn’t till 1957 that the Village of Warren became the City of Warren on October 27th.
