Ann Arbor is consistently listed among the most livable cities in America

Ann Arbor, the county seat of Washtenaw County in Michigan, was established in 1822, covering just over 70 square kilometers. Four years later, Washtenaw County was established, its name meaning 'distant river'. Influenced by this river system and latitude, Ann Arbor enjoys a moist and temperate climate. Fifteen years later, the University of Michigan moved from Detroit and quickly became a hallmark of Ann Arbor, integrating with the city and gaining fame both domestically and internationally. The University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus is divided into South, Central, North, and East campuses, with additional branches in three other cities in Michigan, covering a total area of nearly 50,000 acres. In the history of higher education in the United States, the Ann Arbor campus of the University of Michigan holds a prominent position and is a model for public universities in America. Spring in Ann Arbor is short, and after a brief spring, it quickly enters summer. The rich and nourishing water system, forest vegetation, and the mild and moist climate, along with the University of Michigan's Museum of Natural History, Museum of Art, and Botanical Gardens, as well as dozens of parks and scenic areas surrounding the city, make Ann Arbor a perennial contender for America's most livable cities.
