About Detroit

One of the world's greatest automobile manufacturing cities, Detroit is an international symbol of America's productive might. The spirit of Detroit--the automobile and the assembly line--has spread around the globe, profoundly changing the lives of millions of people.

The French settled the city in 1701 and called it d'etroit or city "of straits," referring to the 27-mile Detroit River that connects lakes Erie and St. Clair. The Detroit River, a segment of the international border between the United States and Canada, marks the only point where Canada lies directly south of the United States. A remnant of the early settlement is Ste. Anne de Detroit Catholic Church. Its original log chapel was built in 1701. Another historic place of worship is the Old Mariners' Church at 170 E. Jefferson Ave. Built in 1849, it was moved to its present location in 1955 to make way for the construction of the civic center. Tours are available; phone (313) 259-2206.

Strategically located, Detroit was the objective of several major campaigns during the struggle for supremacy between the French and British. During the Revolutionary War the community served as northwest headquarters for the British. The settlement took on new life following the War of 1812; the launching in 1818 of the first steam vessel on the Great Lakes and the subsequent expansion of shipbuilding and commerce helped to assure the future prosperity of the city.

However, at the turn of the 20th century Detroit was still a tree-shaded small town busily engaged in making stoves, beer and carriages. This serenity was broken by Henry Ford's creation, a practical vehicle propelled by power generated from within itself, the wheezing, sputtering Model T. Detroit was never the same.

With the growth of the automobile industry the town burst its river-hugging confines and absorbed surrounding communities. To augment local manpower for the assembly lines, Detroit turned to Europe for help and soon became one of the largest cities in the United States.

While still recovering from rapid growth and expansion, the city has recast its image. Although such tags as the Motor City are foremost in outsiders' minds, Detroit residents are eager to point out that the port of Detroit is one of the world's busiest inland ports and ranks high in customs collection. The Detroit area is a great steel center and a leader in the manufacture of office equipment, paint, rubber products, salt and more than half the garden seed used throughout the country.

A polyglot community pulled together by high aspirations and hard work, Detroit has many sports and cultural activities. The city boasts a civic center complex as well as varied sports facilities, an excellent park system and numerous theaters, museums and galleries.

The Detroit Civic Center covers 75 acres along the downtown riverfront. The center includes Cobo Conference/Exhibition Center, phone (313) 877-8111; Cobo Arena, phone (313) 983-6616; Joe Louis Arena, phone (313) 983-6606; and Renaissance Center, phone (313) 568-5600.
