Line 21:
The segment north of Northline Road, originally known as 12th Street, was first drawn in the Ford Center Subdivision plat, approved on March 20, 1917.<ref name=":0">Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs</ref> This segment was still outside of Wyandotte city limits at the time, and was located on the west side of the village of [[Ford City, Michigan|Ford City]]. 12th Street was begun from Northline Road with the approval of the Ford Estates Subdivision plat on December 1, 1919,<ref name=":0">Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs</ref> and the entire segment was completed with the approval of the Electric Highway Park Subdivision plat on June 6, 1923. By this point, the segment was in the city of Wyandotte, which annexed Ford City on December 19, 1922.<ref name=":0">Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs</ref>
During a meeting on July 28, 1927, the city of Wyandotte announced a major street renaming and address renumbering program. As part of this program; existing 12th Street between Ford Avenue and Goddard and Pulaski Boulevard were to both be renamed 10th Street.<ref>[https://cdm17314.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p17314coll1/id/17468/rec/78 Proposed changes in street names], [[Wyandotte Herald (Wyandotte, Michigan)|Wyandotte Herald]], July 29, 1927.</ref> As a result, 10th Street took its current route and form, as well as the segment in the South Detroit Subdivision, although that segment by this point existed only from [[Grove Street (Wyandotte, Michigan)|Grove Street]] south to [[Hillsdale Street (Wyandotte, Michigan)|Hillsdale Street]].
10th Street between Grove and Hillsdale was later vacated and demapped in 1938 to make room for the construction of a large [[Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad]] freight classification yard. To this date, this is the only major change to 10th Street's routing since 1927.
