Street Sign: Grixdate Street (W)est--Detroit MI

            Grixdale oerives its name from the Grix family, which had farmland in both sides of Woodward Avenue between Six (later McNichols) and Seven Mile Roads.

The Grix family later subdivided the land  on the east side of Woodward (selling land on the opposite side of the street to Thomas Palmer). Several descendants of the patriarch of the family built homes on Grixdale Street.

 And in a quirk of Detroit geography, although Grixdale is east of the east-west dividing line of Woodward Avenue, it is designated as West Grixdale because between Six and Seven Mile, John R Street and not Woodward is the east-west boundary.
