Detroit is a city in Wayne County in the state of Michigan, in the Midwestern region of the United States. Established in 1701 by French fur traders, it is best known today as the world's automotive center and an important music capital--legacies celebrated by the city's two familiar nicknames, Motor City and Motown.
Located along the Detroit River and across from the Canadian city of Windsor, Ontario, the city is the seat of Wayne County and the center of a tri-county industrial zone (including Oakland and Macomb counties) that is among the most significant in the American Rust Belt. Detroit is the United States' 11th most populous city, with 900,198 residents, according to the United States Census Bureau's 2004 estimate. This is half the population the city boasted at its peak in the 1950s. Detroit leads the nation in declining population of urban areas Detroit and its suburbs constitute a manufacturing powerhouse, most notably as home to the American automobile industry and the Big Three auto companies Including the Big Three, there are seventeen Fortune 500 companies headquartered in metro Detroit. City life is quickly becoming more pleasant in Detroit due to a diffusion of the population into outlying areas. With a tremendous industrial sector and large business growth, the need for nurses in the area is great, especially for those who are interested in critical care and for legal nurses.
