Named after a Greek freedom fighter, Demetrius Ypsilanti, I started to grow in 1838 when the railroad first arrived. A small comercial settlement srung up around it which became know as depot town.
Several years later a road was built to stretch from Chicago to Detroit which passed just west of the river and another comerical district arose.
In 1849 a teaching college was established in me and would become known as Eastern Michigan University.
In 1941 Ford built a factory in me and I churned out many war planes during World War II.
In 1967 I had a serial killer named Norman Collins, the Michigan Murderer or the co-ed killer as he was also known, who killed seven women in the two years that he was on my streets.
In 1979 I held my first heritage Festivale and have done so every year since.
I have a population of 25,000.
Ann Arbor may look down upon me but she's an elitist asshole who who wouldn't know fun unless it was an over priced pseudo artistic lawn ornament.
I am Ypsilanti and I rule.
