The community was founded in 1884 by Arthur Newton and named for his friend, Mr. Deford. A post office was also established in 1884.[6] A plat for Deford was filed on July 10, 1885.[3] ClimateDeford's climate is much like that of Flint, approximately 30 or 40 miles to the southwest. During the winter, Deford faces heavy precipitation due to its location on the snow belt that comes through Michigan. The community is also located in a tornado prone region of the thumb area. The average amount of precipitation that falls over the community is 30.6 inches.[7] GovernmentDeford has no government of its own and is governed by Novesta Township.[4]
