Founded in 1832, Novi was born from Farmington Township. The community was initially called Four Corners or The Corners. During its early years, the town had only one road. It stretched through Walled Lake to Northville. There, it intersected the Grand River road, which was then known as Detroit and Howell Plank Road. As a result, the areas around were renowned as Novi Corners.

In 1832, the residents watched the formation of a road between Lake Michigan and Detroit. Throughout the nineteenth century, this road became an essential east-west highway. Later, the Michigan State Highway Department began developing the road into a large highway.
