Disappearing cities of Metro Detroit: Berkley, Michigan

It all started here.

In June, the City Council approved a $24,000 contract with MessageMakers to develop Berkley’s brand identity that will be used for the city’s website, street signs, social media and other forms of communication. Some city officials are eager to swap their current logo created 54 years ago by a high-school student, for a more modern, fresh symbol.

Berkley's population peaked at 23,275 in 1960. Its 2017 estimated population is 15,331 -- a drop of 7,944 (34%).



Incorporated in a village in 1923 and a city in 1932, Berkley is located in the southeastern corner of Oakland County and shares a eastern and northern border with Royal Oak.
