About Detroit

Tucked between Abilene and Chapman, just north of Enterprise, Detroit is a quiet Kansas community with a fascinating past. Back in the 1860s, early settlers pushed to make it the county seat because they thought neighboring Abilene was far too wild and rowdy. Detroit also opened Dickinson County's very first schoolhouse. Today, it offers a peaceful slice of country living, with families sending their kids to nearby Chapman schools while enjoying easy access to neighboring towns.
