Saline Information and Highlights

Saline is a city in Michigan that is settled near Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. Popular for its Celtic Festival, which brings in people from all over the United States as well as its sister cities: Brecon, Wales, UK and Lindenberg, Germany. Saline was ranked the 63^rd best place to live in a 2009 CNN / Money Magazine survey, and with its charming shops, delicious food and European inspired homes, it is not difficult to see why. Saline is rich in both history, classic America and sprawling country that has given way to quite a bit of history in the agricultural department. It is truly an interesting city to both visit and to live in.

History

Native Americans, before the 18^th century, traveled to what would become Saline to hunt and gather salt from the salt springs they found within the area. In the 18^th century, French explorers canoed into the area and used it, as well, to harvest salt. It was for the salt springs that they named the local river Saline, which translates to “salty” in French. Europeans would eventually settle the area in the 19^th century, the majority of whom came from England and Germany. With the help of Orange Ridson, a government surveyor who is generally agreed to be the city of Saline’s founder, the residents gave the city its official name and it was established officially in 1832. The town would continue to grow with the 1870 railroad service provided by the Detroit-Hillside-&-Indiana Railroad, and with the construction of one of the city’s most famous landmarks, the Second-Empire Frame. It would continue to develop into the city that it is today.

Location

The city of Saline is southwest of the City of Ann Arbor and northwest of the City of Milan, where the U.S 12 aka Michigan Avenue crosses the Saline River. It is further to the south of the State of Michigan, and located in greener and more country-like surroundings.

Weather

The climate for the City of Saline tends to be reliant on the Great Lakes. Saline experiences a standard four-season climate, with summers reaching over a hundred degrees Fahrenheit, and winters ranging between fifteen to thirty-five degrees Fahrenheit. Saline can experience “Lake Effect” snow and general weather, which brings in clouds and cool breezes. However, the main weather hazard that Saline faces are severe weather in the form of thunderstorms and snowstorms. High winds, tornadoes, hail and lightning can frequently do a good bit of damage.
