History
Beebe's Corners, the original settlement in what would become the city of Warren, was founded in 1830 at the corner of Mound Road and Chicago Road; its first resident was Charles Groesbeck. Beebe's Corners was a carriage stop between Detroit and Utica, and included a distillery, mill, tavern, and trading post. In 1837 the now-defunct Warren Township was organized around the settlement; first under the name Hickory, then Aba in April 1838 and finally renamed Warren shortly thereafter. It was named for War of 1812 veteran and frontier cleric, Reverend Abel Warren. However, when it was originally organized the township was named for Reverend Warren, a Methodist Episcopal preacher who left his native New York in 1824 for Shelby Township. He went throughout the present-day Macomb, Lapeer, Oakland, and St. Clair Counties, baptizing, marrying, and burying pioneers of the area, as well as establishing congregations and preaching extensively. He was the first licensed preacher in the State of Michigan.
Another version of the source of the city's name claims it was "named for General Joseph Warren, who fell at the Battle of Bunker Hill."
