About Detroit
Set in the rolling woods of northwest Alabama right near the Mississippi border, Detroit is a quiet Lamar County town of around 230 people. It started out in the 1800s as a bustling settlement known as Millville, named after the local sawmills and cotton gins that once powered the area. Today, the hum of industry has given way to scenic country roads and a close-knit community where life moves at an easy, neighborly pace.
