Our town started with The Wyandot Native Americans settling here in 1732.  The Village of Wyandotte was established in 1854 and it became a City in 1867.  It was named after the Wyandot Indian Tribe who had settled here before us.   The Wyandot Native Americans resettled in Kansas and Oklahoma where they still live today.

We are very proud of our Wyandotte Heritage.  We have a totem pole at the corner of Eureka and Biddle that was given to us by the Chief of the Tribe in 1971.   We also have our Wyandotte Marching Chief Band of students from Roosevelt High School.  They proudly wore the Tribal patch on their shoulders in the Inaugural Parade of President Barrack Obama with the full endorsement on Live Radio of Chief Bearskin from the Oklahoma Tribe.

The City of Wyandotte has recreational sports named “Warriors Hockey, Braves Baseball and Indians Football" to commemorate our heritage. 

Wyandotte is 5.3 square miles and the population according to the 2010 Census was 25,883 with 11,912 homes.

Wyandotte Public Schools’ first school house was called the “Old Brown School House” built in 1856.  We now have 4 elementary schools, one middle school, one high school and 3 center programs, which provide services for special needs students from all over the Downriver area.
