Detroit might have the most diverse range of mayors of any big city. Detroit's mayors include Charles Bowles, who it only took seven months for the voters to recall after he started his term (he had ties to gangsters and the Ku Klux Klan), to Hazen Pingree and Frank Murphy, considered two of the best big-city mayors ever.This history of Detroit's mayors includes the history of the city as well. Read about early industries of the city including shipping, stove-making, and bootlegging. Mayors of Detroit included a furrier, an optician, a meat marketer, tobacco and beer dealers, malt makers, shoemakers, milliners, automakers, lawyers, bankers, engineers, and candy story owners. Meet mayors like Coleman Young, who told criminals to Hit 8 Mile, the city's boundary, and Dave Bing, all-star basketball player. Read the text messages that were the beginning of the end for Kwame Kilpatrick and find out why Mayor J. Couzens got himself kicked off the streetcars. Learn about Detroit life in the early days-baseball games at the Riverfront Park, picnicing on Belle Isle, and reading books like this one from the Detroit Public Library! These and many other city tales await you-turn the page!
