Farming in the area was a mainstay of the local economy, and by 1925 a truck-based farmer's market was established on the corner of 4th and Troy Streets, with a permanent structure added a few short years later. The Michigan auto boom helped lead the suburb to popularity as well, with many local working in the car manufacturing industry personaified by greater Detroit.
