== History ==
The area that would become Grosse Pointe Farms was originally incorporated as the Village of [[Grosse Pointe, Michigan|Grosse Pointe]] in 1879.  By 1889, the village extended from land just above Provencal Road in the northeast to Cadieux Road in the west.  In 1893, the portion of the village east of Fisher Road broke off and incorporated as the Village of Grosse Pointe Farms after a dispute over the location of a tavern.<ref name=GPHS>{{cite web|title=History of Grosse Pointe|url=http://www.gphistorical.org/league02.html|website=gphistorical.org|publisher=Grosse Pointe Historical Society|access-date=July 26, 2014}}</ref>  It was not until 1949, however, that the village incorporated as a city.<ref name=GPHS/>
