Fact text

  • Meg White of the White Stripes grew up in Grosse Pointe Farms, so this quiet lakeside suburb helped launch one of rock's most iconic duos.
  • The entire city split off from a neighboring village in 1893 over an argument about where to put a tavern, truly a founding dispute worth celebrating.
  • With over three-quarters of its total area covered by water, Grosse Pointe Farms is technically more lake than land.
  • The second-largest employer in town is the Country Club of Detroit, giving the city a delightfully country-club-as-a-major-industry vibe.
