Troy's settlers arrived in the 1840s, named it for their native city of Troy, New York. Troy became an incorporated city in 1955. In 2003, it was named Michigan's Sportstown by Sports Illustrated magazine for having the top community sports programs in the state. In the summer of 2005, to commemorate the city's 50th anniversary, ceramic beaver statues, each standing four feet (1.2 m) high, were displayed at various locations in the city. The beaver is the symbol of Troy, and the city's main commercial thoroughfare (Big Beaver Road) is named for it. Troy was named the sixth safest city of 75,000 or more in the United States and number one safest in Michigan 2005.
