It is also the name of the small lake, 660 feet (200 m) wide by 1,600 feet (500 m) long, from which the hamlet gets its name. Frains Lake is a small rural farming community in Superior Township, northeast of Ann Arbor.The community's most notable features are the Dixboro General Store, founded in 1840, and the Humane Society of Huron Valley, founded in 1896.
The railroad bypassed Dixboro, and Ann Arbor soon quickly outpaced Dixboro.
Although the community prospered and had its own post office for many years, it never incorporated to form a municipal government. In 1827, Dix filed a plat for 60 lots around the village square. Dix purchased 450 acres (1.8 km 2) of land in section 18 of what was then Township Two in the District of Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan Territory.
