Paleo-Indian hunters lived in the Detroit River basin as early as 11,000 years ago. By the time Europeans arrived, Iroquoian and Anishinaabe nations shared the region, and the Ojibwe called it Waawiiyaataanong, "where the river bends." Adrien Joliet's French expedition passed down the river in September 1669, and in 1679 La Salle's Le Griffon became the first sailing ship known on the upper Great Lakes. Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac founded Fort Pontchartrain du Detroit on July 24, 1701, and the parish of Sainte-Anne two days later. France ceded Detroit to Britain in 1763, and Chief Pontiac tried and failed to take the fort that year. Under the British the fur trade remained the base of the economy, and slavery was practiced on a small scale.
The Great Fire of 1805 destroyed nearly all of the colonial town. Detroit was incorporated in 1806, but that was repealed three years later. The British captured it in 1812 and held it until 1813, and it was reincorporated in 1815. John R. Williams became the first elected mayor in 1824. When Michigan became a state in 1837, Detroit was its first capital. Immigrants from Germany, Poland, Italy, Greece and Belgium fed its growth through the 19th century. Detroit was already a major Great Lakes port. In 1907 the Detroit River carried more than 67 million tons of cargo, more than London and New York combined. In 1913 Henry Ford's moving assembly line cut chassis assembly time by nearly 90 percent. By 1920 Ford, General Motors, Dodge and other Detroit companies were building a million cars a year, about half the world's output. Sources Wikipedia: Detroit
