Wyandotte
| Wyandotte was founded at the site of the Wyandot Native American village of Maquaqua. Chief Pontiac organized the unsuccessful attempt to capture the British Fort of Detroit from here in 1763. The land was ceded to the U.S. government by the Wyandot's in 1818. Founded as a village in 1854, it became a city in 1866. Over the years Wyandotte annexed a number of neighboring communities including: New Jerusalem, Glenwood, Bacon, and Ford City. |
