The township of Hamtramck was established in 1798; in 1901 a portion of the township centered around Joseph Campau Street was incorporated as a village. [3] In 1910, Hamtramck was home to 3500 people, and Dodge decided to build a new automotive plant, Dodge Main, at the southeast corner of the village. The plant was completed in 1914 and workers flooded into the area, many of them Polish. [4] By 1920, the population of Hamtramck had boomed to 48,000, an increase of over 13 times in ten years. The increase in population meant an increase in housing and commercial space, and in 1922 Hamtramck incorporated as a city.
Most of the stores along the main shopping street, Joseph Campau, opened in the 1920s. [3] The surrounding neighborhoods were densely packed single-family homes, [4] and this section of street quickly became the second busiest shopping district in southeast Michigan, after only downtown Detroit. [3]
The district contains 131 structures built along Joseph Campau Street, [5] of which 80 contribute to the district's historic designation. [6] According to the Michigan State Housing Development Authority:
