Bloomfield, Michigan is one of the state’s most storied areas, one that was born from beauty and molded into a hub of commerce while retaining this beauty.

Bloomfield Hills is in Oakland County, and in the Southeast Region. To locate Bloomfield Hills, go just north of Detroit between Pontiac and Detroit along Interstate 75 near Anchor Bay and Lake St Clair. Bloomfield Hills is part of the Detroit, Michigan metro area.

On January 28, 1819 the very first land entry in Bloomfield Township was completed, by Colonel Benjamin H. Pierce, brother of Franklin Pierce (U.S. President). Judge Amasa Bagley became the first actual settler, settling on what came to be known as Bagley's Corners, later known as Bloomfield Center, and now as Bloomfield Hills.

Strongly-marked feature in the topography of Bloomfield is the number, extent, and beauty of the lakes which thickly stud its surface, particularly in the northern part. It is the lake township of Oakland County; about one-fifth of it’s area being covered by these bodies of clear fresh water. There are Pine, Black Walnut, Long, Cranberry, and Lord's lakes in the eastern part; Cass and Pickerel lakes in the north; Orchard, Upper Straits, Woodpecker, and Morris in the central portion; and Union, Scotch, Green, Pleasant, and Lower Straits in the western part of the town, besides numerous smaller lakes, many of which are nameless, though beautiful and romantic.
