Farmland Carved Off Macomb Township for the Lake
The Michigan State Legislature created Chesterfield Township in 1842, carving it from a portion of Macomb Township. French explorers named the adjacent water "Lac du Ste Claire" as early as 1687, and the township's early economy was agricultural, farming fertile ground near the shore. The Grand Trunk Railway's 1865 arrival helped local commerce grow well before any municipal water system reached the area.

A shallow water table near the Lake St. Clair shoreline in Chesterfield Township can affect how supply and drain lines are bedded and pitched, which is worth flagging before a plumber schedules a repiping or sewer-line project here.

Mention how close your home sits to the Lake St. Clair shoreline, since water-table depth there can affect drain slope and supply-line bedding.
