== History ==
Originally part of [[Royal Oak Township, Michigan|Royal Oak Township]], Madison Heights incorporated as a city by popular vote on January 17, 1955, and chartered on December 6 of that same year, becoming the tenth city government in southern Oakland County. At that time, the {{convert|7.2|sqmi|km2|1}} city was one of the largest suburban communities in the [[Metro Detroit]] area. The first city hall was at 26305 John R Road, the former township offices. On April 5, 1963, a new municipal building was dedicated which is on the present location at 300 West Thirteen Mile Road. The city lies in the [[Interstate 696]] (I-696) and [[Interstate 75 in Michigan|I-75]] corridor and is served by two primary school districts, [[Lamphere Public Schools|Lamphere]] and [[Madison District Public Schools|Madison]], as well as a full-service municipal government.
