Demographics The first Europeans to colonize the Detroit area were French, and their legacy can be observed today in the names of many area cities (ex. Detroit, Grosse Pointe, Grosse Ile) and streets (ex. Gratiot, Beaubien, St. Antoine, Cadieux). Later, there was an influx of persons of British and German descent, followed later by Polish, Irish, Italians, Jews, Greeks and Belgian immigrants who made their way to the city during the early 20th century and during World War II. There was also a large migration into the city of African-Americans from the rural South following World War I. As in most large cities, there were distinct neighborhoods and even cities (Hamtramck was predominantly Polish, for example) dominated by the various ethnic groups. Territories in the Americas colonized or claimed by a European great power in 1750. ...

Area codes Metro Detroit is served by eight telephone area codes (nine if Windsor is included). The 313 area code, which used to encompass all of Southeast Michigan, has been narrowed to the city of Detroit and a few close suburbs. 313 has assumed special status as many Detroiters say that they are from "The 3-1-3" or the "three-one-third" to assert that they are "truly" from Detroit. The 248 area code along with the newer 947 area code overlay mostly serve Oakland County. Macomb County is largely served by 586. Genesee, St. Clair, Livingston and Lapeer are covered by 810, while Washtenaw, Monroe, and western Wayne are in the 734 area. For other uses, see Telephone (disambiguation). ...
