Flat Rock started out in 1811 as the Village of Vreeland, named after the Vreeland family who owned extensive tracts of land in the area. The city gained its current name from the Flat Rock Speedway, which is not actually located in Flat Rock, but can be found about a mile and a quarter to the southwest in nearby Berlin Charter Township, a village to the south of Flat Rock, in neighboring Monroe County.
Flat Rock is in Wayne County, Michigan, with a small part of the city within MonroeCounty as well. It has a population of 9,773, estimated by the American Community Survey in 2012. The population is fairly young with an average age of 37. The city is dominated by the Ford Motor Company's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, which produces Ford's Mustang and Fusion automobiles. Property values have increased substantially recently, and are expected to continue rising in the foreseeable future. View Flat Rock City Guide
