Images of America: Berkley (Paperback)

Images of America: Berkley (Paperback) Once a forbidding area of swamps and forests, Berkley was uninhabited until the early 19th century. In 1924, the Detroit News disparaged the ""frontier community"" and wrote that it ""resembles a settlement in the oil waste of Wyoming."" Still, forward-thinking residents thought Berkley had a bright future. Two factions with competing ideas raced with paperwork to the Oakland County Courthouse in Pontiac; the triumphant group, desiring a small town, camped out overnight to be the first in line.
