Marysville is in
St. Clair County, and in the
Southeast Region. This community is located just northeast of
Detroit between
Port Huron and the United States/Ontario border along Interstate 95 on the banks of the St. Clair River near the shore of
Lake Huron.
Marysville is part of the Detroit, Michigan metro area.
In 1843, Edward P. Vickery bought land at this location and constructed a sawmill here. The place was known as Vickery's Landing, then Vicksburgh. The name was changed to honor Mary Mills, the wife of a local sawmill owner, Nelson Mills.
In the early 1920s, the "Wills St. Clair" automobile was manufactured here, with around 14,000 cars built. Only 80 of these cars are known to exist today. The Chrysler Corporation currently owns the Marysville Factory.
