One of Michigan's most successful chief
executives, Alexander Groesbeck is credited with reorganizing state
government. Although he was "called aloof as a politician and
dictatorial as governor," Groesbeck was elected governor three
times (1920, 1922 and 1924). He also lost his party's nomination on
three other occasions (1926, 1930 and 1934). A Republican, Groesbeck was
born in Macomb County and worked in his father's sawmill before
attending the University of Michigan where he graduated with a law
degree. Groesbeck was buried in Detroit.
