Expert Answer
Beginning as a fur trading post in the 17th century, many repair workshops were established at Detroit by the early 19th century. Later, an industry for manufacturing boat engines was established here. Soon, Detroit became a centre of copper and iron and steel manufacturing companies. By the end of the 19th century, Detroit had developed a very sophisticated machine building industry which made it a suitable location for developing the automobile industry.
