Hamtramck, Industrial city in Wayne County, Michigan, United States
Hamtramck occupies 2.09 square miles of land within Detroit's borders, making it Michigan's most densely populated area with 28,433 residents.
The city emerged from German farmland in 1901 and transformed into an industrial center when the Dodge Brothers automotive plant opened in 1914.
The annual Pączki Day celebrations before Lent feature traditional Polish pastries, reflecting the strong Eastern European heritage of early immigrants.
Multiple transportation routes connect Hamtramck to Detroit's metropolitan area, with bus services operating throughout residential and commercial districts.
In 2021, Hamtramck made national headlines by electing the first all-Muslim city council and mayor in United States history.
