Farmland Carved Off for a Lakeside Township
The Michigan State Legislature created Chesterfield Township in 1842, carving it from a portion of Macomb Township. French explorers named the adjacent water "Lac du Ste Claire" as early as 1687, and the township sits along the western shore of Lake St. Clair today -- a lakefront position that keeps ambient humidity higher here than in communities set farther inland.
Shoreline Humidity Compounds Seasonal Moisture
Homes closer to the Lake St. Clair shoreline in Chesterfield Township face higher year-round humidity on top of the region's normal seasonal moisture swings, which can accelerate mold growth in crawl spaces and attics that aren't ventilated for that added load.

What to Flag Before a Chesterfield Township Assessment
Mention how close your home sits to the Lake St. Clair shoreline, since elevated humidity there can change how aggressively ventilation and vapor barriers need to be addressed.
