Northville is a city located in the U.S. state of Michigan and a suburb in Metro Detroit.
The population was 6,459 at the 2000 census. The city is equally divided between Oakland and Wayne Counties. The Oakland County
portion is surrounded by the city of Novi. The Wayne County portion is surrounded by
Northville Township.
The city was incorporated in 1955 along the boundaries of the Village of Northville. The Village of Northville included
portions of Novi Township in Oakland County and Northville Township in Wayne County. Over the next several years, the city
boundaries expanded through annexation of portions of Novi Township and the Village of Novi both east and west of the city and
north of Baseline Road. The city's northern boundary was fixed by the incorporation of the Village of Novi into the City of Novi
in 1969. The city has also annexed small portions of Northville Township the most recent of which was an expansion of the Rural
Hill Cemetery. Northville Township's status as a Charter Township generally precludes the City from annexing any significant
portion of the Township. The most recent annexation was permitted by the Township in order for the city to expand the city-owned
and operated cemetery.
