Grosse Pointe

Town in Wayne County, southeast Michigan; population (1990) 5,700. It is located 11 km/7 mi northeast of Detroit, on Lake St Clair, between Grosse Pointe Park, to the southwest, and Grosse Pointe Farms, to the northeast. It is the smallest of the five Grosse Pointes (the Pointes), which began with ribbon farms extending back from the lake; Grosse Pointe's lakefront is only 1.2 km/0.75 mi in width. Popular summer resorts for wealthy Detroiters from the 1840s, the Pointes became exclusive residential suburbs from the time of World War I.
