Editing Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan (section)

==History==
While initially settled over a century ago, much of the city in its current form was built in the middle of the 20th century, particularly around and just after [[World War II]], distinguishing Grosse Pointe Woods from older portions of Grosse Pointe.

The city was originally incorporated as the Village of Lochmoor in 1927 from the last unincorporated portion of [[Grosse Pointe Township]].<ref>[http://www.gphistorical.org/timeline.html Grosse Pointe Historical Society website], Grosse Pointe History Timeline, accessed 8 October 2011</ref>  The village annexed the Stanhope-Allard strip of land from what was then Gratiot Township in 1931.<ref>[http://www.gpwmi.us/aboutus/recentHistory.html City of Grosse Pointe Woods website], City History (Recent History), accessed 8 October 2011</ref>  The village changed its name from Lochmoor to Grosse Pointe Woods in 1939, but didn't incorporate as a city until 1950.<ref>[http://www.ci.grosse-pointe-woods.mi.us/aboutus/aboutOurCity.html City of Grosse Pointe Woods website] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111010195451/http://www.ci.grosse-pointe-woods.mi.us/aboutus/aboutOurCity.html |date=2011-10-10 }}, About our City, accessed 8 October 2011</ref>
