Settled as early as 1823, Dundee was incorporated as a village in 1855. The downtown Dundee Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which also includes the Old Mill Museum and the Macon Reservation of the River Raisin National Battlefield Park. The village is nicknamed the “Hub of the Highways” due to the intersection of major historic thoroughfares at the village’s center (specifically present-day M-50 and U.S. Route 23).
Dundee is in western Monroe County, and Via highway M-50, it is 14 miles from Monroe, the county seat, and 15 miles east-southeast of Tecumseh. Via US 23, it is 25 miles south of Ann Arbor and the same distance north of the Toledo, Ohio, area. It is also a great nearby getaway from Detroit.
Dundee is the largest village by land area in the state of Michigan. The River Raisin passes through the village, continuing through Monroe on its way to Lake Erie.
