Named for the great Ottawa Chief who summered nearby, Pontiac was established in 1818 where the old Pontiac Trail crossed the Clinton River. The city developed and became the center of a major carriage-making industry in the 1880's. What began as Pontiac Spring wagon Works is now known as General Motors. Considered a satellite city of Detroit, it is surrounded by affluent Metro Detroit suburbs. Although in the midst of these suburbs, Pontiac itself is an urban center with a significant manufacturing sector.
