Detroit, Michigan: naming agency services for small businesses

Since this website page is about Detroit naming, it seems appropriate to talk about the naming of Detroit, Michigan itself.

If naming Detroit was a job given over to the name generation robots or if the naming assignment was tasked to the maddening crowds, we’d probably have a Midwestia or an Autoville on our hands. Fortunately, Detroit’s naming had everything to do with its founding. Detroit’s name was given to it by its French founder, Antoine de la Moth Cadillac. He dubbed it Fort Pontchartrain du Detroit. The word Detroit means strait in French, and the river-side city has long served as a port. While the city has experienced both booms and busts over the past 300 years, today, Detroit is once again revitalizing itself. Start-up and tech investment is up. Tourism is way up. And crime is way down. –Did you know that in 2015 Detroit was named “City of Design” by UNESCO, the first ever U.S. city to be named so? Thanks to a youthful influx, affordable homes and a more balanced industrial mix, the Detroit name is becoming synonymous with “comeback kid.”
