Warren

Warren is a city in Macomb County, Michigan, located just north of Detroit. The municipality spreads across residential neighborhoods, commercial zones, and industrial sites covering roughly 34 square miles.

The construction of a major tank manufacturing plant during World War II transformed this former farming settlement into an industrial hub. Automotive production has shaped the local economy ever since.

The community takes its name from an early land surveyor during Michigan's pioneer years. Several parks and recreation areas offer residents places to walk and picnic between the residential blocks.

Public libraries across the area provide digital services and reading rooms for visitors. Municipal facilities are distributed throughout the city and most are accessible by car.

An automotive research complex employs thousands of engineers working in laboratories and testing grounds. The facility was designed by a notable architect in the 1950s and is considered an example of modern industrial design.
