Westland is a city in Wayne County in the U.S. state of Michigan, about 15 miles west of downtown Detroit. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 86,602. The city motto is "The Place To Be." During the 1700s, the area was inhabited by the people of a Pottawatomi Indian village. Other tribes, particularly three Algonquin tribes, used the area as hunting territory. A flour mill, which was restored by Henry Ford in 1918, was built in this same area. Once restored, the mill was used to make stencils for Ford car parts. Named Nankin Mills, this historic site is now used as a nature interpretive center and other community events.
