Thunderbowl Lanes hosted the inaugural PBA World Series of Bowling in 2009 and the 2025 USBC Masters. Allen Park's namesake is early 1900s lawyer and lumberman Lewis Allen. Henry Ford's $5 workday attracted immigrants who made the community their home.
Allen Park is named for Lewis Allen, a lawyer and lumberman whose roughly 276.5 acres formed the base of the community. It incorporated as a village in 1927 and as a city in 1957, and it covers about 7 square miles. The Uniroyal Giant Tire was designed by Shreve, Lamb and Harmon, the firm behind the Empire State Building, and it arrived on 22 trucks for reassembly in 1966.
