Detroit's history goes back to the late 1600's when France chose a spot near the Great Lakes to establish a military fort. Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac played a key role in creating the first settlement in the area, which was known as Fort Ponchartrain.

By 1802 Detroit was incorporated as a town, and the area grew quickly. A large fire destroyed much of the town in 1805, and the town's future seemed to be in peril as the residents adopted a system of martial law. The following year, however, Detroit was granted the title of city and appointed a new system of government.

Henry Ford founded The Ford Motor Company in 1904. The company's incredible success helped stir competitors into action, causing Detroit to become known as the automotive capital of the world, or "Motor City". Every January the city hosts the North American International Auto Show.
