My happiness of finding an old defunct hamlet called Catville was short-lived as the town eventually evolved into New Boston. Which is sad but it also led me to this section of a longer article called History of Detroit's Real Estate that was written concerning a paper by C. M. Burton on just that topic read before the Detroit Real Estate Board in early 1900. Detroit Free Press , April 8, 1900 Mentioned are several defunct villages, name changes and neighborhoods. Included are Belgrade (bet. Delray & the Rouge Bridge), Cassandra (a mile & a half west of Woodward & the 10,000 acre tract [didn't this get mentioned recently?]), Mount Pleasant (sec. 31 within the town of Romulus), Truaxton or Truago (which became Trenton), Vreelandt (Flat Rock), Michigan City (Rawsonville), Grand Port (Ecorse) and Catville (New Boston).
