    About Detroit  
    City Profile
    The city has its origins in 1701, when a French fur trader established a fort on the banks of the (now named) Detroit River. It was named after the trader's patron Pontchartrain du Detroit. The city's growth has been indexed to the fortunes of the automotive industry, which has spawned many 'booms and busts.'
