Where did Henry Ford live?

I recently realized that I don’t know much about Henry Ford despite driving a Ford my whole life. Where did he live?

Known as the man who encouraged the mass production and commercialization of automobiles in the United States, Henry Ford spent almost the entirety of his life in the state of
Michigan
.
Henry Ford was born near the city of
Dearborn
, Michigan. This is the same city where Ford Motor Company is currently headquartered. His family had a farm there and that’s where he spent most of his childhood.
He didn’t spend his entire life in Dearborn, however, as he moved to
Detroit
during his teenage years. There he worked as an engineer before eventually striking out on his own and founding Ford.
Some important dates in Henry Ford’s life include:
  • 1863, the year Henry Ford was born
  • 1891, the year Ford began his career as an engineer
  • 1903, the year Ford Motor Company was officially founded
  • 1908, the year the Model T first sold
  • 1947, the year Ford died
