History
1
Buckhorn Corners was a hamlet in the early days of Farmington Township. Pioneer carpenter Timothy Tolman built an early frame house there in 1828. That same year, the Tibbits Sawmill began operating half a mile south along Lee's Creek at the present I-696 and Inkster Roads. The community included a school and cemetery; the Stone or Coleman School, circa 1840, at Middlebelt and I-696, educated children until the mid-twentieth century, and the Utley or East Farmington Cemetery, a mile away on Twelve Mile Road, served as an early burying ground.
