Old Homestead is a neighborhood on the east side of the Metro Detroit suburb of Southgate, Michigan.[1] Usually, Old Homestead is bordered by Superior Street to the north, Eureka Road to the south, M-85 (Fort Street) to the east and either Trenton Road or Burns Street to the west.[citation needed]
Old Homestead was originally platted in 1923 as a subdivision of Ecorse Township, however, for approximately the next two decades, it continued to remain mostly agricultural land. From this original plat, only four of the residential streets-Sycamore, Chestnut, Commonwealth and Superior Streets-retain their original names. In 1958, the remaining areas of Ecorse Township were incorporated as the city of Southgate-this included Old Homestead.
