-==History==
-The area was first settled in the 1830s when Erastus S. Cone (1798–1869) bought farmland in southwest Milan Township, which itself was organized in 1836.  Cone had a very large family, and the name Cone became a prominent name in the area.  Many settlers in the community belonged to the Cone family.<ref name=PRESS>{{cite web|last=Warnes|first=Kathy|url= https://monroemichigan.wordpress.com/2017/08/28/milan-township-communities-cone-and-azalia/|title=Milan Township Communities: Cone and Azalia|accessdate=November 3, 2020}}</ref>
+==Activities==
-The area received its first post office under the name West Milan on August 4, 1869 with John C. Cone serving as the first postmaster.  The [[Wabash Railroad]] opened a railway line in West Milan in 1880.  Because of the prominence of the Cone family name, the station was named the Cone Station.<ref name=WFMK>{{cite web|last=Robinson|first=John|url=https://99wfmk.com/cone-michigan/|title=Michigan 'Lost' Town: The Tiny Town of Cone, in Monroe County|date=9 October 2019|accessdate=November 3, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{GNIS|2438741|Cone Station (historical)}}</ref>  The post office was renamed Cone on January 27, 1882.<ref name=GNIS2>{{GNIS|2438740|Cone Post Office (historical)}}</ref>
-With the opening of the railway, the community of Cone had a direct link to the city of [[Detroit]] about {{convert|47|mi|km}} to the northeast.  The small community began to prosper and included many businesses and a growing population that mostly belonged to the Cone family.  Businesses within Cone included a blacksmith shop, brick and charcoal manufacturers, cheese factory, two churches, several stores, two sawmills, and other manufacturing companies.  Despite the growing community and prosperous railway, many of these businesses disappeared after the turn of the century.  The post office itself was discontinued on September 15, 1917.<ref name=GNIS2/>  Today, the community has no businesses and consists of only a small number of houses, farmland, and a [[grain elevator]] and silos.<ref name=WFMK/> The railway line is currently operated by [[Norfolk Southern Railway]] but no longer has a station in the area.<ref>{{cite web|last=[[Michigan Department of Transportation]]|url=https://www.michigan.gov/documents/mdot/MI_Rail_Map_553909_7.pdf|title=Michigan's Railroad System: Railroads Operating in Michigan|date=March 2017|accessdate=October 3, 2020}}</ref>
