Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANN ARBOR , a city and the county-seat of Washtenaw county, Michigan, U.S.A., on the
Huron
  river, about 38 M. W. of
Detroit
 . Pop. (189o) 9431; (1900) 14,509, of whom
2329 were foreign-born; (1910) 14,817. It is served by the
Michigan Central and the Ann Arbor railways, and by an
electric line running from
Detroit
  to Jackson and connecting with various other lines. Ann Arbor is best known as the seat of the university of Michigan, opened in 1837. The city has many attractive residences, and the residential districts, especially in the
east
  and
south
 -
east
  parts of the city, command picturesque views of the
Huron
  valley. Ann Arbor is situated in a productive agricultural and fruit-growing region. The river provides good water-
power
 , and among the manufactures are agricultural implements, carriages, furniture (including sectional
book
 -cases), pianos and
organs
 , pottery and
flour
 . In 1824 Ann Arbor was settled, laid out as a town, chosen for the county-seat, and named in honour of Mrs Ann Allen and Mrs Ann Rumsey, the wives of two of the founders. It was incorporated as a
village
  in 1833, and was first chartered as a city in 1851.
