It all started here.
Muskrat eating is deeply ingrained in the customs of the swampy region along the Detroit River between the Motor City and Toledo, Ohio. According to historians, the roots extend all the way back to Detroit's founding in 1701 by Antoine de La Mothe Cadillac as a French fur trading post on a narrow part of the Great Lakes waterway. He named it La Ville d'Etroit, the city on the strait, later anglicized to Detroit. Settlers lived off the land then and muskrat was one of the few sources of meat in winter.
Wyandotte's population peaked at 43,519 in 1960. Its 2017 estimated population is 24,977 -- a drop of 18,542 (43%).
Incorporated in 1867, the City of Wyandotte is a downriver suburb of Detroit, just south of River Rouge and Ecorse.
