The City of Ecorse

The City of Ecorse, Ecorse, Michigan 48229 Located in Wayne County, Ecorse is named after the Ecorse River.

Formerly named "River Aux Echorches", which means "The River of the Barks" in English, it was originally used as a burial ground for the Native American tribes of the area, and later settled by the French in the last two decades of the 18th century. Parts of the organized township were incorporated as a village in the 1820s. Ecorse became a significant economic force in the region when its first steel mill, Michigan Steel Mill, began operation in 1923.

Santa and the Detroit Goodfellows have made it to Ecorse Parks and Recreation.

If you have filled out a Goodfellows form in the past month and have received your green sheet, you can pick up your child(ren) package(s) 12/7-12/16.

You can still sign up at the center, but will have to wait a day or two to be put in the system before receiving a package.

Thank you

This thanksgiving we would like to say thank you to all those who donate to our Ecorse firefighter charity.

Instead of having their family gift exchange this year The Rudberg family decided to collect all the money that would have been spent and donate it, enabling your Ecorse firefighters to accept a record number of children for their Christmas with the firefighters program.

Here's Sgt. Rudberg accepting the donation from his aunt, his mom, and his cousin
