Detroit (Motor City)

Detroit, known as Motor City, is a major city in the U.S. state of Michigan and is historically recognized as the center of the American automobile industry. Founded in 1701, it became a booming hub for car manufacturing in the early 20th century, home to major companies like Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler. This economic significance helped shape the city’s identity and culture, leading to innovations in manufacturing and a vibrant music scene, notably Motown. Despite facing economic challenges and population decline in recent decades, Detroit remains a symbol of resilience and the American spirit.
