The history of the Irish Hills dates back to the 19th century as a stopping point during the five-day stagecoach trip between Detroit and Chicago. The early 20th century saw the region develop into a popular tourist destination, a theme that continues today. The area features a unique combination of picturesque countryside, hometown charm and more than 50 lakes for recreation and enjoyment. A short distance down the road is the hard-to-miss 1,400-acre Michigan International Speedway.
