Wayne County, Administrative county in Michigan, US.
Wayne County is an administrative unit in southeastern Michigan that includes Detroit and additional communities. The territory extends from the border with Ontario to the suburbs and towns inland.
The administrative unit was named in 1796 after General Anthony Wayne and originally covered large parts of the region. Over time, the boundaries were adjusted and reduced to the current territory.
The territory lies along the Detroit River and has long served as a border zone between the United States and Canada. Across the waterway, the neighboring towns of Windsor and Essex in Ontario are visible, giving daily life along the shore an international character.
Travelers will find different infrastructure and services across the various communities. Conditions shift depending on location between urban and rural areas.
The airport near Romulus in the southwestern part of the county bears the name of the administrative unit and functions as a central transit point. This location connects the region with destinations across several continents.
