Detroit, Michigan:  Automobiles and Motown

When visiting Detroit, Michigan one can only think back to almost a century ago when Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company rolled a group of mass-produced automobiles off the assembly line.  Or, perhaps the mind goes to a more recent date when the Motown music sound was founded in 1957 by Berry Gordy, Jr.  Either way, there are many reasons why Detroit is an interesting place to visit.

Detroit Facts and History

Detroit is located in Wayne County on the Detroit River and is often called "The Motor City." Its population as of 2003 was estimated at 911,402.  A trader founded the community named Antoine Laumet de la Mothe Cadillac in 1701, and was an important area of commerce for Native American tribes.  In 1815, the city was incorporated.  It became known for manufacturing kitchen ranges and cigars. 

During the late 1800s, a farmer's son named Henry Ford began building cars in Detroit.  He did not invent the automobile, but the way he produced later would be the key to his success - and the city's growth.

Other auto manufacturers moved to the area, giving the city a great population boost during the early 1900s.  During World War II, factories concentrated their production efforts on war supplies and vehicles.  After the war, companies who had survived resumed their old businesses.

In 1957, a man named Berry Gordy, Jr. founded the Motown record company, which put Detroit in the limelight once again.  Famous entertainers such as Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Smokie Robinson, Marvin Gaye, the Temptations and Stevie Wonder had their start here and many of them also lived in Detroit.
