Michigan Counties - Washtenaw County

Washtenaw County is located in the southeast section of Michigan’s
lower peninsula. It is a major metropolitan area best known as a major
educational center. The University of Michigan, the first state university
in the nation, was moved from Detroit to Ann Arbor, in 1837. A few years
later in 1852, Eastern Michigan University was formed in Ypsilanti, becoming
the first teachers’ college outside the 13 colonies. These institutions served
as the focal point for the development of what has become one of the leading
medical research and technology centers in the world, with many corporations
and businesses choosing to make their home here.

It is often and easily said that living in Washtenaw County truly offers the
