The Township of Macomb was officially approved by the Legislative Council on March 7, 1834.The township was named in honor of General Alexander Macomb, who was a highly decorated veteran of the War of 1812; his successful mercantile family owned most of Macomb County at one time. Macomb Township was a large part of the lumber and logging industry of southeast Michigan in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Logs would be transported south from Wolcott Mill in Ray Township, down the Middle Branch of the Clinton River to sawmills. Romeo Plank Road is a historic route that follows the river on its western side. Macomb Township experienced significant growth during the period of 2000–2008, boasting a 48% increase in population.
