Living in Pontiac

The first settlers arrived in what is now known as Pontiac back in 1818, although the city wasn't officially recognized by the state legislature until 1861.

Today, the city's population exceeds 60,000, and the city is known for its diverse array of recreational and cultural opportunities.

Nature lovers will be pleased to know that the city's 30 city parks and recreation centers offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. If you're living in this neighborhood you will be sure to appreciate the civic-minded approach. Pontiac's Community Centers provide year-round activities and serve as the home for many civic organizations. For those who want to immerse themselves in the local arts and cultural landscape, be sure to check out Pontiac's Creative Arts Center, a non-profit organization serving the community with art education, art programs, and exhibitions. If you're looking for some local history, visit the Pine Grove Historical museum, which sits on 4 ½ acres of land in the mansion of former Michigan Governor Moses Wisner.

This community is also home to the Michigan Fallen Heroes Memorial, which honors both police officers and firefighters who lost their lives while they were on duty in the state of Michigan.
