Around Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor is best known as the home of the University of Michigan, one of the country's top universities. In many ways, the University shapes the composition of the city's economy, population and cultural awareness. The city was founded in 1824, and is named for the wives of its two founders (both named Ann), and for its natural groves or arbors.
The ever-changing atmosphere of Ann Arbor and the surrounding communities is what makes it an exciting place to live and visit. The beauty of the scenery changes with the season. There are many different activities to pursue year round. Here's just a sampling:
