Romulus

Romulus is a city in Wayne County centered around a major international airport that serves millions of passengers yearly. The community features residential neighborhoods, commercial zones, and parks distributed throughout its suburban layout.

French-Canadian settlers arrived in the 1820s and established the first permanent community in what became the township. Growth accelerated during the 20th century with the development of aviation infrastructure nearby.

The area reflects its role as a working transportation center, where industrial buildings and service facilities shape the everyday landscape visible from roadways and parks.

Local parks provide playgrounds and open spaces for outdoor activities and walking paths to explore the community. The city is easily accessible by major highways and connects to nearby regional attractions.

The Samuel Kingsley Home and White Church served as Underground Railroad stations where enslaved people found shelter during their journey to freedom. These sites remain important reminders of the community's role in that history.
