Shores would remain a part of. Lake Township until, after numerous failed attempts, its residents voted to. incorporate as the City of. St. Claire Shores in January 1951. The city would then become the home of the Jefferson Beach Amusement Park, once a major lakefront attraction for the Detroit area and beyond. The park was destroyed by fire in 1955, and for years thereafter was relegated to use as a marina storage facility and marine supply store until it too was destroyed in the 1990s. The village would become part of Erin Township from 1843 until 1911, when it was partitioned off to become Lake Township. During the next few decades dozens of subdivisions would be platted among the local local farmland, but most would not be developed in earnest until the post World War II era, when the community became a fast growing suburb.
