Hamtramck was originally settled by German farmers, but Polish immigrants flooded into the area when the Dodge Brothers plant opened in 1914. Poles still make up a large proportion of the population. As of the 2000 census, the city's foreign born population stood at 41.1 percent, making it Michigan's most internationally diverse city. Learn the history and culture of Hamtramck as you explore with your enthusiastic guide. This special walking tour will also introduce you to the new Hamtramck Historical Museum.
