Rochester Hills is located in the northern outskirts of the Metropolitan Detroit area. It lies within Oakland County, and is the middle-western city in the county. With a population of just over seventy thousand, Rochester Hills is considered to be a forgettable city to the rest of the nation. It comprised thirty-two square miles of state land, with just ten percent of it being water. It sits at an elevation of 820 feet and has a population density of two thousand people per square mile.
Following suite with the history of the rest of the population, Rochester Hills was inhabited by native americans. The Potawatomi tribe used Michigan’s abundant water sources like the Clinton River, Paint Creek and others to water their crops, fish, travel, and trade with nearby tribes. They resided here for generations before the first European invaders arrived, and in 1807 the Treaty of Detroit forced them out of their ownership of land. It seems that ink on paper has tremendous power over ownership, even to cultures that have no need for contracts. Whether tricked, forced, or negotiated, the Potawatomi, the Odawa, Wyandot, and Ojibwe peoples all ceded their land to Michigan.
According to local history, the first European settler to touch down in the area was a James Graham in 1817. He brought his family over through a series of trails established by the Sauk Native Americans. The area soon became known as the Avon Township in 1835, where a a trading post and post office was established. In 1869, Rochester was incorporated as a village within the township, and adopted a charter in 1948 in accordance with the Home Rule Act. Before being known as Rochester Hills, the area was once known as Brooklands between Auburn Road, Hamlin Road, and Dequindre Road. In the sixties, citizens voted and chided the local government to become a city in Michigan, and got their wish. Rochester residents refused to pay property taxes to the township, and it soon became a separate municipality. Also in the sixties, the small Avon Township filed a petition to also become a city. It was approved to move forward, and while the process went underway a funny thing happened. Three proposed charters were turned down by the citizens, when Rochester offered to annex the township. The land that is known to day is the conjoining of Avon Township and the slow acquisition of nearby land by local government.

Be sure not to mow too often. If you mow too often, it's gonna hurt your grass.
The grass is really long as the guy who used to do my lawn has not shown up last month. No word from him to-date either. I need to have it cut before Thursday as neighbour had complained to city

I'm looking for lawn service for my mother, she lives at 156 Rose Brier Drive, Rochester Hills, MI 48309. The lawn will need to be cut every 1-2 weeks, depending on length - use your best judgement. Please let me know the cost. Thanks. - Nick
