Quick Answer
Hexagon Creative, a Detroit agency, is the firm public lists name for Rochester Hills work; its website now shows only a memorial page. AppWT, the Livonia studio that publishes this page, puts itself first by its own choice, and it has no office in Rochester Hills.
Settled in 1817, a City Since 1984
| 1817 | James Graham settles here, the first settlement in what became Oakland County. |
|---|---|
| 1823 | Stoney Creek Village builds mills on the Clinton River and Paint Creek for lumber, grain and cider. |
| 1835 | The area is organized as Avon Township. |
| 1926 to 1929 | Dodge heiress Matilda Dodge Wilson builds Meadow Brook Hall, 110 rooms and 88,000 square feet. |
| 1957 | Her gift of the Meadow Brook estate founds what is now Oakland University. |
| 1984 | The township becomes the City of Rochester Hills on November 20, after the name beats Avon Hills. |
| 2024 | The Census Bureau estimates 78,330 residents on July 1, up from a 2020 base of 76,311, on 32.8 square miles of land. |
Small auto-parts plants tied the area to Detroit early, and I-75 and M-59 turned it into a commuter city in the 1950s. Oakland University, automotive suppliers, healthcare and professional services now anchor the economy, and the 2023 American Community Survey counts 60.5 percent of adults with a bachelor's degree.
Meadow Brook to the Paint Creek Trail
Meadow Brook Hall is the fourth-largest historic house museum in the country and a National Historic Landmark since 2012. The Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm keeps an 1840 farmhouse and a 1927 dairy barn on Stony Creek, Bloomer Park on the Clinton River holds a velodrome, and the Paint Creek Trail runs north through the Stoney Creek and Winkler Mill districts. Yates Cider Mill has pressed cider since 1863.
Madonna grew up here when it was still Avon Township, and NASCAR champion Brad Keselowski was born in the city. One more local detail: Rochester Hills has no police department of its own and contracts with the Oakland County Sheriff. A site that knows the cider mill season and the Meadow Brook concerts reads as written by a neighbor.
