'''10th Street''' is a north–south residential street in the central and north-central areas of the city of [[Wyandotte, Michigan|Wyandotte]], [[Michigan]]. 10th Street has two different jogs, at [[Antoine Street (Wyandotte, Michigan)|Antoine Street]] and [[Ford Avenue (Wyandotte, Michigan)|Ford Avenue]], though the entire street as it currently exists is considered a single segment. 10th Street is equivalent to '''1000''' in [[Addressing system of Wyandotte, Michigan|Wyandotte's addressing system]]; that is, buildings along cross streets immediately west of 10th have street addresses beginning with 1000, while buildings immediately east of it have addresses beginning with 900.
==History==
The first segment of what would become present-day 10th Street was drawn up in the plat for the South Detroit Subdivision south of Wyandotte, approved on November 3, 1890, where it was originally known as Grand Rapids Avenue.<ref name=":0">Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs</ref> The oldest surviving portion of present-day 10th Street was drawn up in the Welch's Ford City Subdivision plat, at the time west of Wyandotte city limits in what was then named [[Glenwood, Wayne County, Michigan|New Jerusalem]], which was approved on June 23, 1897.<ref name=":0">Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs</ref>
The South Detroit Subdivision was annexed into the city of Wyandotte on June 15, 1904, and Grand Rapids Avenue was renamed as a new southern portion of 10th Street. The Glenwood segment of 10th Street and Pulaski Boulevard, between Oak Street and Northline Road, both were, in turn, annexed into Wyandotte on July 6, 1905, although no street renaming occurred, and the unusual mid-segment name change was still present.
