The town of Van Dyke was platted by Walter Piper in 1917 and its streets named for autos being manufactured at the time.
Street names (still in existence) include Packard, Hudson, Marmon, Ford, Dodge, Paige, Republic, Federal, Hupp, Maxwell, Cadillac, Studebaker, Chalmers and Automobile.
The two main auto engine manufacturers of the time-Continental and Lozier, also got street names.
