DETROIT LAKES—A CITY WITH A PASTFrom the 1830’s until the 1860’s, one of three branches of the Red River Ox Cart trails, which ran from St. Paul to Canada, came right through the area later to be settled as Detroit. Settlement of this area began in 1871, as the Northern Pacific Railroad etched its way westward through Becker County. Detroit founder, Colonel George Johnston came to Minnesota in 1871 to select lands for the New England Colony. In 1873, Detroit Township boasted the first grain warehouse built west of Duluth on the Northern Pacific Railroad.
THE NAME “DETROIT” came about when a French Catholic Priest camped on the shore of the lake with a view of the sun setting across the water. The water was low and revealed a sandbar, creating a narrow strait that glistened in the light of the setting sun. The Priest exclaimed, “What a beautiful detroit,” meaning “strait” in French. Consequently, the city was named Detroit. Due to continuous postal mix-ups between Detroit, Minnesota and the better-known Detroit, Michigan, a special election was held
on September 7, 1926 to change the city’s name to Detroit Lakes to reflect its landscape. This befitting title has remained ever since.
DETROIT LAKES still boasts many historic buildings and attractions some of which are on the National Register of Historic Places. Be sure to walk the historic downtown, visit the renovated Graystone Hotel Building, the Historic Holmes Theatre, the Pavilion and City Park, the Becker County Courthouse, the Carnegie Library, Dunton Locks, The Depot, and Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge.
FOR MORE INFORMATIONon historic people, places or events stop into the Becker County History Museum, Research Library and Gift Shop; located at the corner of Summit Avenue and Front Street. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday 10:00 am-4:00 pm year round. Admission is free. Call 218-847-2938 for more information.
