Locals

There are several locals included in Warren Township.  The biggest of course is Center Line, which is a mile and one half rectangular in the very middle of Warren Township.  There was Base Line, VanDyke, and Fitzgerald. Outside of the Warren area was Halfway (now East Pointe), Hogs Hollow (Utica)

Base Line -  Post office in area bordered on the south by 8 Mile Road; annexed by Warren when it became a city in 1957.
