At the start of the 19th century several Ojibwe bands lived in the region, with an important community near present Montrose. The convenient fords of the Flint River were contested among rival tribes, and part of the city stands on old Ojibwe burial grounds. In 1819 Jacob Smith, a fur trader on good terms with both the Ojibwe and the territorial government, set up a trading post at the Grand Traverse of the Flint River. He negotiated several land exchanges with the Ojibwe for the government and was respected on both sides. As the natural stopover on the road between Detroit and Saginaw, Flint grew into a prosperous village and was incorporated in 1855.
In the second half of the 19th century Flint became a center of Michigan's lumber industry, and lumber money funded a carriage-making industry that earned it the nickname Vehicle City. As carriages gave way to automobiles, Flint became a leader of the new auto industry. Buick moved there from Detroit, AC Spark Plug began there, and the Dort, Little, Flint and Mason cars were built there. Chevrolet's first and for many years main factory was in Flint, and for a time every Chevrolet and Buick was built in the city. General Motors was founded in Flint in 1908, and the city grew into a manufacturing powerhouse for Buick and Chevrolet, especially from World War II to the early 1980s. The sit-down strike of 1936 and 1937 in Flint played a vital role in building the United Auto Workers. Since the late 1960s the city has faced economic decline as GM cut back.
