Wyandotte City is located in Wayne County, about 11 miles south of Detroit. It is surrounded by Southgate, Lincoln Park, Riverview, and Lasalle.

Before the treaty of 1818, the area was home to the Wyandot Native American tribe, who were part of the Huron nation. They were a farming tribe, heavily dependent on the surrounding forest and river for hunting and fishing. 

One of the first white settlers in Wyandotte was politician John Biddle, who has a major avenue named after him. Wyandotte was founded in 1854 and incorporated as a city on December 12, 1866. Its early economy was based on the ship building industry.

Today the only industry in Wyandotte is the BASF Group chemical company.

Notable natives and residents include Lucille Ball, golfer Justin Hicks, and baseball player Bob Kuzava.
