Lincoln Park is a city in Wayne County, Michigan, United States. The population was 40,008 at the 2000 census. The area was founded as a village in 1921 and reorganized as a city in 1925. The area was originally home to the Potawatomi Indians who ceded the land to a French settler, Pierre St. Cosme in 1776. The area developed as a bedroom community providing homes to workers in the nearby steel mills and automobile plants of the Detroit area while having no industry within its bounds.

The town has an extensive school system, primarily serving its 9,700 people under the age of 18. This system includes Lincoln Park High School, Lincoln Park Middle School, as well as eight different elementary schools.
