      city, northern suburb of Detroit, Macomb county, southeastern Michigan, U.S. Organized in 1837 as Hickory township, it was called Aba (or Alba, 1838) until renamed (1839) for Gen. Joseph Warren (Warren, Joseph), a hero of the American Revolution. The village of Warren was incorporated in 1893; from its initial settlement, the community remained rural in character until it was linked to Detroit by streetcar and rail in 1904. The city was created in 1955 through the consolidation of the village and township. Warren encompasses the city of Center Line, now an enclave, which incorporated separately from the township in 1925 and became a city in 1936. Industrial and residential development began in the 1920s and was greatly accelerated in the early decades after World War II. The city manufactures automobiles and parts for several major motor vehicle companies. The General Motors Technical Center (designed by architect Eero Saarinen (Saarinen, Eero)), the Detroit Arsenal, and a campus of Macomb Community College (1954) are in the city. Pop. (2000) city, 138,247; Detroit-Warren-Livonia MSA, 4,452,557; (2005 est.) city, 135,311; Detroit-Warren-Livonia MSA, 4,488,335.

      city, Trumbull county, northeastern Ohio, U.S. It lies along the Mahoning River and is part of the Youngstown metropolitan complex. Settled (1799) by Ephraim Quinby, a stockholder in the Connecticut Land Company, it was named for Moses Warren, a surveyor. Warren became the seat of the Western Reserve, and in 1803 it was made the county seat. After the completion (1840) of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal from Pittsburgh to Akron (there connecting with the Ohio and Erie Canal), Warren developed as an inland port. The city's prosperity grew with the discovery of coal in the Mahoning valley and the development of the local iron industry after 1870. Warren's proximity to Youngstown and the subsequent arrival of two transcontinental highways and the Ohio Turnpike were also stimulants to growth.

      The city's diversified industries now include automotive and basic steel production and the manufacture of industrial equipment and electrical products. The Trumbull campus of Kent State University was founded in 1954. Packard Music Hall and the John Stark Edwards House (1807), the oldest dwelling in the former Western Reserve, are in the city.

Laid out in 1795, it was named for General Joseph Warren (Warren, Joseph), who was killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill (Bunker Hill, Battle of). A lumber boom in the mid-19th century was followed by an oil boom. Its economy now includes the manufacture of furniture, forestry equipment, electric and wire products, steel fabrications, and refined oil. Warren is the headquarters for Allegheny National Forest (hunting, fishing, and winter sports), and tourism is an added source of income. Kinzua Dam and Chapman State Park are nearby.

The region is heavily wooded with conifers such as pine, spruce, and fir.

      Iroquoian-speaking Mohawk Indians probably hunted in the region. The resort village of Lake George, the county seat, was the site of a battle (Sept. 8, 1755) during the French and Indian War and of Fort William Henry (1756–57), which has been reconstructed.
