Old Salem

"Northville also contains the semi-autonomous borough of Old Salem. Founded in the early 1800's by settlers from Massachusetts, Old Salem remained an independent city until the Great Depression, when financial insolvency forced it to join the city of Northville. At its highest population level, Old Salem contained around 50 people; today, the "borough" (as it is offically called" has less than 20. Old Salem retains to right to return to independant status."

Daneslord (Talk) added this bit of information, but I can find no other information about this "Old Salem." If someone can back it up, by all means, put it back in. Wangry 07:34, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If "Old Salem" ever existed, it's not in Northville, Michigan. First, there was never a city in the area named "Old Salem. Second, Michigan doesn't have boroughs. Perhaps the information was about a Northville in another state? Northville, Michigan didn't even exist until the 1820s and the settlers came from New York, not Massachusetts.

If you go up 6 mile between Napier and Currie, You will travel right through Downtown Salem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.46.118.40 (talk) 01:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
