Detroit (pronounced /d?'tr??t/) is the largest city in the U.S. state of Michigan and the seat of Wayne County. Detroit is a major port city on the Detroit River, in the Midwest region of the United States. Located north of Windsor, Ontario, Detroit is the only major [4] U.S. city that looks south to Canada. It was founded on July 24, 1701 by the Frenchman Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac. Its name originates from the French word détroit ( pronounced&_160;[det?wa]&_160; ( listen)) for strait, [5] characterizing its location on the river connecting the Great Lakes. Known as the world's traditional automotive center,[6] "Detroit" is a metonym for the American automobile industry and an important source of popular music legacies celebrated by the city's two familiar nicknames, The Motor City and Motown.[7][8] Other nicknames emerged in the twentieth century, including City of Champions beginning in the 1930s for its successes in individual and team sport,[9] Arsenal of Democracy (during World War II),[10] The D, D-Town, Hockeytown (a phrase officially owned by the city's NHL club, the Red Wings), Rock City (after the Kiss song "Detroit Rock City"), and The 3-1-3 (its telephone area code).[11][12] In 2008 Detroit ranked as the United States' eleventh most populous city, with 912,062 residents.[13] At its peak in 1950 the city was the fourth largest in the US, but has since seen a major shift in its population to the suburbs. The name Detroit sometimes refers to the Metro Detroit area, a sprawling region with a population of 4,425,110[14] for the Metropolitan Statistical Area, making it the nation's eleventh-largest, and a population of 5,354,225[2] for the nine-county Combined Statistical Area as of the 2008 Census Bureau estimates. The Detroit-Windsor area, a critical commercial link straddling the Canada-U.S. border, has a total population of about 5,700,000.[15]
