Early​ ​Oakland​ ​County The​ ​County​ ​of​ ​Oakland​​ ​has​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​most​ ​interesting​ ​histories​ ​in​ ​the​ ​state​ ​of Michigan... Prior​ ​to​ ​the​ ​first​ ​permanent​ ​settlers,​ ​Native​ ​Americans​ ​(of​ ​many​ ​different​ ​tribes,​ ​Ojibwa, Chippewa,​ ​Ottawa,​ ​Potawatomi)​ ​roamed​ ​along​ ​the​ ​Saginaw​ ​Trail​ ​and​ ​camped​ ​at Saginaw​ ​Plains,​ ​Apple​ ​Island​ ​and​ ​various​ ​other​ ​beautiful​ ​spots.​ ​Much​ ​of​ ​the​ ​original settlement​ ​of​ ​the​ ​county​ ​was​ ​around​ ​three​ ​major​ ​native​ ​American​ ​trails;​ ​Saginaw​ ​Trail​ ​much​ ​is​ ​now​ ​Woodward​ ​Avenue,​ ​Shiawassee​ ​Trail​ ​-​ ​followed​ ​the​ ​current​ ​Orchard​ ​Lake Road​ ​and​ ​Grand​ ​River​ ​Trail.​ ​The​ ​United​ ​States​ ​acquired​ ​the​ ​area​ ​now​ ​known​ ​as Oakland​ ​County,​ ​from​ ​France,​ ​in​ ​1803,​ ​as​ ​part​ ​of​ ​a​ ​800,000​ ​square​ ​mile​ ​agreement,​ ​and the​ ​area​ ​was​ ​given​ ​the​ ​name​ ​"Old​ ​Northwest".​ ​The​ ​Territory​ ​of​ ​Michigan​ ​was​ ​formed​ ​by Congress​ ​on​ ​June​ ​30th​ ​1805,​ ​with​ ​statehood​ ​on​ ​January​ ​26,​ ​1837.

Despite​ ​Oakland​ ​County's​​ ​official​ ​description​ ​in​ ​1816​ ​as​ ​having​ ​"extreme​ ​sterility​ ​and barrenness",​ ​on​ ​November​ ​5,​ ​1818,​ ​the​ ​Pontiac​ ​Company​ ​was​ ​organized​ ​by​ ​a​ ​group​ ​of Detroit​ ​and​ ​Macomb​ ​County​ ​men​ ​for​ ​the​ ​purpose​ ​of​ ​purchasing​ ​land​ ​and​ ​laying​ ​a​ ​town. In​ ​the​ ​fall​ ​of​ ​that​ ​same​ ​year,​ ​an​ ​exploring​ ​party​ ​of​ ​prominent​ ​professional​ ​and​ ​business

men​ ​from​ ​Detroit​ ​came​ ​up​ ​the​ ​Saginaw​ ​Trail​ ​on​ ​horseback​ ​and​ ​camped​ ​the​ ​first​ ​night​ ​in what​ ​is​ ​now​ ​Royal​ ​Oak.​ ​These​ ​men​ ​named​ ​most​ ​of​ ​the​ ​lakes​ ​in​ ​what​ ​are​ ​now​ ​Bloomfield and​ ​West​ ​Bloomfield​ ​Townships.​ ​Their​ ​published​ ​report​ ​of​ ​the​ ​exploration​ ​did​ ​much​ ​to correct​ ​the​ ​false​ ​information​ ​of​ ​the​ ​1816​ ​description.

Oakland​ ​County​​ ​was​ ​officially​ ​organized​ ​on​ ​January​ ​12,​ ​1819.​ ​Governor​ ​Cass​ ​issued​ ​a proclamation​ ​that​ ​laid​ ​out​ ​the​ ​boundaries​ ​of​ ​the​ ​county.​ ​The​ ​Pontiac​ ​Company​ ​offered to​ ​contribute​ ​both​ ​property​ ​and​ ​money​ ​if​ ​the​ ​county​ ​seat​ ​was​ ​established​ ​in​ ​Pontiac.​ ​The county​ ​was​ ​divided​ ​into​ ​two​ ​townships​ ​on​ ​June​ ​28,​ ​1820​ ​(by​ ​another​ ​proclamation). The​ ​northern​ ​section​ ​was​ ​proclaimed​ ​Oakland​ ​Township,​ ​the​ ​southern​ ​section​ ​was named​ ​Bloomfield​ ​Township.​ ​Subsequently,​ ​on​ ​April​ ​27,​ ​1827,​ ​the​ ​legislative​ ​council​ ​of the​ ​Territory​ ​of​ ​Michigan​ ​divided​ ​Oakland​ ​County​ ​into​ ​five​ ​townships:​ ​Farmington, Bloomfield,​ ​Troy,​ ​Oakland​,​ ​and​ ​Pontiac.​ ​In​ ​1820​ ​Governor​ ​Cass​ ​set​ ​the​ ​county​ ​seat​ ​in Pontiac--a​ ​central​ ​location​ ​no​ ​more​ ​than​ ​a​ ​day's​ ​journey​ ​from​ ​any​ ​point​ ​in​ ​the​ ​county. The​ ​first​ ​official​ ​census​ ​of​ ​the​ ​county​ ​was​ ​taken​ ​in​ ​1820,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​final​ ​count​ ​was​ ​330 persons.​ ​Within​ ​10​ ​years​ ​the​ ​population​ ​grew​ ​to​ ​4,911.​ ​By​ ​1840​ ​it​ ​was​ ​23,646,​ ​and​ ​by 1870​ ​it​ ​had​ ​reached​ ​40,867,​ ​being​ ​surpassed​ ​only​ ​by​ ​Wayne,​ ​Kent,​ ​Lenawee​ ​and Washtenaw​ ​Counties,​ ​in​ ​that​ ​order.​ ​The​ ​1990​ ​U.S.​ ​Census​ ​reports​ ​1,083,592​ ​persons

living​ ​in​ ​Oakland​ ​County,​ ​with​ ​the​ ​current​ ​estimated​ ​from​ ​2000​ ​census​ ​data​ ​at 1,162,098,​ ​which​ ​is​ ​the​ ​highest​ ​population​ ​for​ ​counties​ ​in​ ​the​ ​state. Contact​ ​Details: Platinum​ ​Wildlife​ ​Removal Canton,​ ​MI​ ​48187 Phone:​ ​(248)​ ​667-7796
