A brief History of Michigan State
The first claim of Michigan was staked in 16668 by a French Jesuit named Père Jacques Marquette. He sailed over from France announcing the first European claim here, ignoring all native Michiganians. He named his settlement Sault Ste Marie, and it became America’s third-oldest town. In 1763 the British removed all French settlements and began using Michigan as a base for conducting Indian raids against the Americans during the Revolutionary War. The Brits also built their now famous fort on Mackinac Island in 1780. Its location in the straits between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron made it one of the most important ports in the North American fur trade, and a site the British and Americans battled over many times. This is a great sight to see when visiting Michigan. From the 1920s onwards, car-making became the key driving force to Michigan’s economy. To this day Chrysler, General Motors and Ford all have headquarters in the region.Getting Around
Michigan is, thanks to its great past, an easily navigable state. As the historic base of the U.S. auto industry, Michigan's intra-state travel system is almost entirely dependent on the internal combustion engine. The most extensive public transit system is the Greyhound bus network, which reaches most population centers in much of the state. Amtrak's three daily rail routes from Chicago connect certain cities in southern Michigan, while a lot of the domestic air travel flies out of Detroit Metro. Most of the larger cities here are connected by express bus routes and some offer light rail transport as well.
