I had helped find a Canton Township condofor a young Turkish couple that had just moved from Canada back in April.  They sent me a nice thank you via email.  But was even nicer is just last week they invited my wife and I to their condofor dinner.  It was an excellent dinner of Turkish food.  They had stuffed grape leaves, chicken, rice, and quite a few other Turkish delicacies.  It was great my wife and I learned so much about Turkish culture.

We shared with them the fun places to go in Michigan.  They are all excited to "go north" latter in the fall to watch the fall colors.  But the bottom line is that we have gained some new friends and learned a lot about Turkey all in the process of helping somebody new to Michigan and new to our country. 

 Dear Russ,
It´s been 2 months since we moved into our new Canton condo and we
are very happy with it. In the beginning we didn´t even
know what we needed but with your help, guidance and
patience we chose the best condo in the area with the best
price according to our needs. We were looking all over.  We looked in Novi, Warrren, Canton, Farmington Hills.  But we finally found our Canton condo.  We appreciate everything you
have done for us. We would recommend you without hesitation
to everyone we know who wants to buy or sell a house.

Canton History

Civilization arrived in Canton by the 1820´s.  The first land grant in Canton was given to Philander Burd in 1825.  In 1834 a six square mile area bounded by Joy Road on the north, Van Born Road to the south, Hannan to the east and Napier to the west became known as Canton, Michigan. Canton was named after a city in China due in part to the enhanced trade relations the United States had with China at that time.

Canton was primarily farm land throughout its history. But among the corn fields and woods existed two small villages: Sheldon Corners and Cherry Hill.

Sheldon Corners was established in 1825 by Timothy & Rachel Sheldon after spending a night alongside the Sauk Trail (A.K.A. Michigan Ave.) under a large tree. They built an inn (which still stands) for other weary travelers heading westward.

Cherry Hill boasts Cantons first church-the Cherry Hill United Methodist Church and Cemetery, (1834). Cherry Hill was first known as ‘The Ridge’, and was later renamed Cherry Hill Village. About 1865 after Abner Hitchcock built his inn and named it the ‘Cherry Hill House’ after the abundant wild cherry trees growing there. In the 1940s Henry Ford built one of his ‘Village Industries’ in Cherry Hill and adopted the Cherry Hill School as part of the Greenfield Village School System, offering the students many wonderful new opportunities.

In 1874 the first township hall was built on the corner of Canton Center and Cherry Hill Roads. It seated 400 people and was built at a cost of $700.  Since the beginning Canton was a farming community Farm.  From 1925 to 1970 Canton was touted as the ‘Sweet Corn Capitol of Michigan.’ Canton became one of Michigans first Charter Townships.

Dairy farming was also important in Canton due to its central location. At first farmers took their milk to local creameries located in the villages of Sheldon Corners and Cherry Hill. Today one large dairy herd still exists in Canton, run by descendants of another early family, the Gills.
