Metro Detroit has the largest concentration of Belgians outside of Belgium. The 20th century lasted from 1901 to 2000 in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Major highways

The Metro Detroit area is criss-crossed by several major interstate highways and freeways. A typical rural stretch of Interstate Highway, with two lanes in each direction separated by a large grassy median, and with cross-traffic limited to overpasses and underpasses. ...

  • I-75 (Chrysler and Fisher Freeways) is the region's main north-south route, serving Flint, Pontiac, Troy, and Detroit, before continuing south (as the Fisher Freeway) to serve many of the communities along the shore of Lake Erie.
  • I-94 (Ford Freeway) runs east-west through Detroit and serves Ann Arbor to the west (where it continues to Chicago) and Port Huron to the northeast. The stretch of the current I-94 freeway from Ypsilanti to Detroit was one of the first American limited-access freeways, originally built to link the factories at Willow Run and Dearborn during World War II and was then known as the Detroit Industrial Freeway.
  • I-96 runs northwest-southeast through Livingston County and (as the Jeffries Freeway) has its eastern terminus in downtown Detroit.
  • I-275 runs north-south from I-75 in the south to the junction of I-96 and I-696 in the north, providing a bypass through the western suburbs of Detroit.
  • I-696 (Walter Reuther Freeway) runs east-west from the junction of I-96 and I-275, providing a route through the northern suburbs of Detroit. Taken together, I-275 and I-696 form a semi-circle around Detroit.
  • I-375 is a short spur route in downtown Detroit, an extension of the Chrysler Freeway.
  • I-475 runs north-south through downtown Flint for several miles before rejoining I-75.
  • I-69, although a north-south route for most of its length, runs east-west across St. Clair, Lapeer, and Genesee counties, serving Flint, Lapeer, and Port Huron.
  • Highway_401 Windsor-Toronto-Montreal Highway
  • M-10 (The Lodge Freeway)
  • M-39 (The Southfield Freeway)
  • M-59 (Veterans Memorial Freeway from Utica to Pontiac), continues east as Hall Road to Clinton Township and west as various surface roads to I-96 near Howell
  • M-8 (Davison Freeway), the first modern limited-access urban freeway in America, opened in 1944.

Traditionally, Detroiters referred to their freeways by name rather than route number. Today, the Davison, Lodge and Southfield Freeways are almost always referred to by name rather than route number. True Detroiters preceed each Freeway name with the word 'the' as in The Lodge, The Southfield and The Davison. This was also once true for the Chrysler, Fisher and Ford Freeways (and to a lesser extent the Jeffries and Reuther Freeways) before the Department of Transportation mandated deemphasization of the use of proper names on guide signs for Interstates. Other freeways are referred to only by number (I-275, M-59, I-69 and I-475) and their name, if any, was never in common everyday usage.

Area codes

Metro Detroit is served by six telephone area codes. The 313 area code serves principally Detroit and some inner suburbs. 313 has assumed something of a cult status (reinforced by the film 8 Mile) as many Detroiters say that they are from "the 3-1-3" to assert that they are "truly" from Detroit. The 248 area code serves most of Oakland County, along with the newer 947, which largely covers cellular phones. Macomb County is largely served by 586. St. Clair County is covered by 810. Washtenaw, Monroe, and Western Wayne counties are in the 734 area. Windsor, Ontario and Southwestern Ontario are served by the area code 519.

Metro Detroit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1825 words)
Metro Detroit is the U.S. metropolitan area surrounding the city of Detroit, Michigan, including Pontiac, and other outlying cities, villages, and townships.
Though this metropolitan area officially encompasses much of Southeast Michigan, residents of outlying communities (such as Port Huron) may not consider where they live to be part of the "Detroit area." Michiganders have traditionally defined "Metro Detroit" as the three counties containing or bordering the city of Detroit--Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb.
Metro Detroit's ethnic communities are largely the descendants of mainly French origin and other small communities (Poles, Irish, Italians and Greeks) who made their way to the city during its early 20th century industrial boom.
United States metropolitan area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (411 words)
The appropriate figures for some metro areas are much debated, and in some cases reputable sources provide figures which differ by millions.
As of November 2003, there is now an additional classification, that of a “Metropolitan Division.” The term metropolitan division is used to refer to a county or group of counties within a metropolitan statistical area that has a population core of at least 2.5 million.
While a metropolitan division is a subdivision of a larger metropolitan statistical area, it often functions as a distinct social, economic, and cultural area within the larger region.
