New Baltimore is located in Macomb County

New Baltimore is located on the north coastline of Lake St. Clair, along the boundary line of Macomb and St. Clair Counties, about six miles north of Mount Clemens. This picturesque town on the waterfront includes a beach and downtown shopping district. It is supported economically by its adjacent location to the greater Detroit metro area.

Pierre Yax first settled this area in 1796. In 1820 Fabian Robertjean made the first government land purchase. Alfred Ashley, who came here from Mount Clemens in 1845, built the first sawmill and the first dock. In 1851, he platted the village as Ashley, and on September 20, 1851 was given a post office called Ashleyville, with him as its postmaster. On March 7, 1855 the post office was renamed New Baltimore. This settlement was incorporated as a village in 1867 and as a city in 1931.
