When Wyandotte, Michigan incorporated as a city in 1867, the Eureka Iron Company found the location ideal to transport iron ore from the Great Lakes to its port on the Detroit River. Pronounced Why-en-Dot, the city was named after the native American Wyandot people. Lucille Ball and Lee Majors both grew up there. Crime overall is low by Michigan standards, but this town of approximately 25,000 citizens still gets its fair share of DUI cases in Wayne County.
