Detroit, MI has a rich history and is one of the most populated cities in the US. In 1701, French explorers founded a fort in the area named Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit (Fort Detroit) and in the late 1800s, the city grew to become an important industrial hub due to its prime location in the Great Lakes region. In the 1900s, the Detroit River became one of the busiest hubs in the world, carrying over 65 million tons of commercial shipping goods.

Today, Detroit, MI is known for its diverse culture and music influences; it played an important role in the development of hip-hop, jazz, punk, and rock. The city was named the “City of Design” by UNESCO in 2015 and Time named it one of the World’s Greatest Places to explore in 2022.
