Milan – A History
Milan is a charming small city located 16 miles from Ann Arbor and 37 miles from Toledo. The area’s early growth was due to excellent farmland and power available from the Saline River, in addition to the railroad passing through. Today Milan is known for its tree-lined streets, historic neighborhoods, unique downtown businesses, and excellent schools. With a strong sense of community and connection, Milan residents enjoy the advantages of small-town life, including public parks, recreational opportunities for kids and adults, and downtown events such as Third Thursdays, parades, car shows, and more.
