After the War of 1812 and the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs, the land that is now Sterling Heights was surveyed by Deputy Surveyor Joseph Wampler, whose survey was approved on February 20, 1818. The area was part of Shelby Township when it was created in April 1827, was split off as Jefferson Township in March 1835, and was renamed Sterling Township in March 1838.
Until the 1950s Sterling Township was farmland, known especially for rhubarb and other crops sold in Detroit. Better roads cut commuting times, and suburban houses were built for workers in Detroit's booming auto industry, while the township also became a destination for white flight from Detroit. When it incorporated as a city in 1968, "Heights" was added because state law did not allow two municipalities with the same name, and a village called Sterling already existed in Arenac County. Gerald Donovan was the first mayor. In the 1960s and 1970s many people moved there to work in Chrysler and Ford plants, and Lakeside Mall opened in 1976. The city has drawn many immigrants, including Albanians, Bosnians, Croatians, Macedonians, Montenegrins, Poles, Serbians and Slovenians, and after the Iraq War of 2003 many Iraqis displaced by the war settled there.
