Westland

Westland is a suburban city in Wayne County, Michigan, comprised of residential neighborhoods, schools, and shopping areas spread across the community. The city sits at about 650 feet (200 meters) elevation and connects several district neighborhoods together.

The city became incorporated on January 1, 1966, transforming from rural township lands into an organized municipality. This shift marked the beginning of structured city administration and planning for the growing suburban area.
