Oakland County, Michigan is 2,352 square kilometers located in Southeastern Michigan. It is ground zero for the automobile industry, which stretches from Toronto to Ohio.

Oakland County's population (2002 Census) is 1,202,721. Immigration, though the smallest component of population change, accounted for all of the County's population increase. The diversified economy, balance of urban and rural environments, and variety of technical and industrial employment continue to prove their attraction worldwide. Over 565 companies representing 25 countries conduct business in Oakland County.

Oakland County's 2,600 miles of roads still revolve around the main transportation arteries which began as trails of the Native Americans who lived here (Ojibwa, Chippewa, Ottawa and Potawatomi). Woodward Avenue was originally the Saginaw Trail and Orchard Lake Road was the Shiawassee Trail in days gone by. Today, these excellent roads are joined by rail access and airports such as Oakland County International Airport and Bishop International Airport, Detroit Metropolitan International Airport (the metro region's hub airport), Oakland/Southwest Airport, and Oakland/Troy Airport.

Oakland County Parks and Recreation boasts nature centers, eleven parks, five golf courses, and two water parks. The Fridge toboggan run is unique to Oakland. Named "Best Slide" in 2003, it includes a 55-foot drop, and speeds in excess of 30 miles per hour. Full advantage of the seasons are taken by the residents of Oakland County, and recreation ranges from skating, sledding and skiing to hiking, picnicking, swimming, and boating. Mountain biking is popular and many competitions are held locally.

A haven for Lighthouse aficionados, Michigan boasts over 115 lights and lighthouses (many of which are still operational). A few of those which are open to the public include museums, and three are Bed and Breakfasts.

The economy is booming in Oakland. Not only does 1/3rd of all U.S. auto production happen within 70 miles of the county, Oakland County is home to such Fortune 500 giants as:

  • Daimler Chrysler
  • Ford Motor Company
  • General Motors
  • Kmart
  • Kelly Services
  • Lear Corporation
  • Meritor

Pontiac is the County Seat and is centrally located in the County. Land and funds were donated by the Pontiac Company in 1819 for the establishment of this township.
