Westland Center was developed by J.L. Hudson Corporation. When opened in 1965, it was Michigan's first fully enclosed, climate controlled mall. It was designed by Victor Gruen Associates and Louis G. Redstone Associates.[2]
Westland Center played a bit of local history. During the early 1960s, the city of Livonia wanted to annex the part of Nankin in which the mall was to be built. The shopping center eventually opened in 1965, joining Northland and Eastland malls in other Detroit Metro cities. In reaction to Livonia's annexation attempts, the people of Nankin voted to change the remainder of the township as a city on May 16, 1966 to the city of Westland, named after the mall. At that time, it was the fourth largest city in Wayne County.
