Those staying in corporate housing in Detroit, MI for business reasons might appreciate some information about the city’s business environment. After a long decline in the city’s economy and high unemployment rate, the city has managed a turnaround that has included more than 1.5 billion dollars in infrastructure and revitalization of city’s buildings. The riverfront has especially been redone and technology infrastructure has been upgraded to attract a larger skilled workforce to enter the city.
There is a significant manufacturing presence here as well with companies like American Axle and Manufacturing located in Detroit. Detroit has always been synonymous with auto manufacturing and while there is still some activity in that sector, it is certainly not as vibrant as it used to be.

The name Detroit is taken from the French word that means Strait. The original area was named as the Strait of Lake Erie and eventually a fort was built in the area by French Canadians. They named the area Fort Ponchartrain du Detroit. Pontchartrain was at the time the Marine Minister for King Louis XIV. The area originally belonged to the French, and in an effort to populate the area, the French offered free land to settlers. The area initially grew to 800 inhabitants becoming the largest city from Montreal to New Orleans.
The French Indian War of 1760 Fort Ponchartrain du Detroit fell to the British who truncated its long name to Detroit. After the British took control, the fort was besieged by tribes of the area but the Fort remained solidly in British hands. It eventually entered the United States under the Jay Treaty of 1796.
In modern history, Detroit became the hub of manufacturing and a pioneering city in automobile manufacturing. Ford Motor Company was founded here in 1903, followed by Dodge by the Dodge brothers, and Chrysler by Walter Chrysler. Truck manufacturing also expanded here at the time.
