Grosse Pointe Shores was incorporated as a village in 1911 and was part of Grosse Pointe Township in Wayne County and Lake Township in Macomb County. Both townships became defunct with the village incorporated as a city in 2009. It is a northeastern suburb of Metro Detroit and is the northernmost city included into the Grosse Pointe area, and the only one of the five Grosse Pointes to not border the city of Detroit. Located along the shores of Lake St. Clair, the city is well known as the location of the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House and the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club.
