Saline is located in south-central Washtenaw County. Situated on the Saline River, its main street is part of US-12, the historic Chicago-to-Detroit route. It is supported by a wide variety of business and industry, a large automobile plant, and its adjunct location to greater Ann Arbor, just six miles to the north.

It was first settled in 1824 by Orange Risdon, a military surveyor who purchased a 160 acre parcel here. It was officially platted in 1832, named for the salt springs found in the river. It was incorporated as a village in 1866 and later as a city in 1931.
