About Troy, Michigan
Troy is a city in Oakland County, Michigan, United States. The earliest recorded purchases of land in what was known as Troy Township occurred in 1819. A couple of years later, a settlement known as Troy Corners was established due to Johnson Niles buying 160 acres in the region. The area is currently the north-central area of Troy. The Troy Historic Village is a collection of historical museums and structures chronicling Troy's history. (Wikipedia)
