Former Arnold Folker residence built in late 1920s when he was first Garden City Village President

The origins of Garden City started with the transfer of the property to John Lathers from Andrew Jackson for 160 acres. The city was patterned after the "Garden City" concept that became popular in England during the 19th Century, with most home sites sectioned off into one acre plots to allow adequate farming area to support the family with fruit and vegetables. Now, most sites are considerably smaller, some as small as 40' x 135', with little room for gardening of fruits and vegetables. In June 1927 Garden City became a village with Arnold Folker as Village President and six years later the Village becomes the city of Garden City. Areas of interest in Garden City include the first Kmart store, the first Little Caesars (all still in use), and the honeymoon cottage of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford.
