According to Wikipedia,
The Saginaw Trail running from Detroit to Saginaw through Pontiac and Flint was originally an Indian trail. In 1816 the Michigan Territorial government authorized the building of a road from Detroit to Saginaw along the trail. The trail is known as Woodward Avenue (a.k.a. M-1) in Wayne County. Woodward Avenue (a.k.a. M-1) continues into Pontiac, then becomes Dixie Highway, which between I-75 and Telegraph Road is part of U.S. 24. In Genesee County, it is known as Saginaw Road or Saginaw Street. Between Dort Highway's northern terminus and Clio Road in Genesee County, Saginaw Road is part of M-54. In Saginaw County, it is also known as Dixie Highway, except in the City of Saginaw, where it is known as Genesee Street.
