Durand is in Shiawassee County, Michigan, about 49 miles northwest of the AppWT office in Livonia.

The economy was built almost entirely on the railroads, chiefly the Grand Trunk Western and the Ann Arbor lines, which made Durand the busiest railroad junction in the state. At its heyday in the 1910s and 1920s the depot handled roughly 35 passenger, nine local, and 100 freight trains daily; other accounts cite peaks of 42 passenger, 22 mail, and 78 freight trains serving nearly 3,000 passengers a day.

Originally called Vernon Center and platted in 1836, taking its early name from its location in Vernon Township.
