Hamtramck has been a destination and become home for many immigrants to the United States for most of this century. Originally established in 1798 as the township of Hamtramck, in what was then part of the Northwest Territory, Hamtramck was organized as a village in 1901. While a quiet farming town at the turn of the century, the population soared during 1910-20, when it was the fastest-growing community in the nation, spurred by the booming automobile industry. Thousands of immigrants, mostly of Polish and other European descent, settled here. Today, immigrants from all over the world continue to settle in Hamtramck, enriching our community with their cultures and customs. We hope you'll enjoy all Hamtramck has to offer! |
