For the third year in row, members of the Flat Rock Downtown Development Authority along with Flat Rock Our Home Town and their families help add Holiday lights to the two blocks of Garden Boulevard. This year they added carolers and a decretive street lamp to go along with two wreathes, lighted oversized bulbs and Christmas Packages and more. The business district of Garden Boulevard includes two blocks from Gibraltar to East Huron River.

The DDA and Flat Rock, Our Hometown members encourage everyone to visit the downtown area for their special Holiday Gifts. And remember to get your Christmas Passport Booklet at any one or more of our 41 participating business partners. You can win up to $500 worth of Flat Rock Dollars that can be spent at any of the participating businesses.

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
