Willow Run was originally a stream (which is still there; it empties into Belleville Lake). Then, presumably, it was the name of Henry Ford's farm where the plant was eventually built. So the question is, is Willow Run the place named after the plant, the stream, or the farm? When was the school district established? Anyone know?
All good questions
These are all good questions. The place to look would be pre-WWII maps or plats, to look for place names or street names; certainly these are somewhere in the Map Library at the Grad. Edward Vielmetti 05:52, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
