Ypsilanti Background:

Commonly shortened to Ypsi, is a city in Washtenaw County in Michigan. It is perhaps best known as the home of Eastern Michigan University. As of the 2010 census, the city’s population was 19,435. The city is bounded to the north by Superior Township and on the west, south, and east by Ypsilanti Township. Ypsilanti is located 6 miles (10 km) east of Ann Arbor and about 18 miles (29 km) west of the Detroit city limits.

Ypsilanti History:

Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a French-Canadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff. It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff’s Grove. A separate community a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name “Ypsilanti”, after Demetrios Ypsilantis, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff’s Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, the year its namesake effectively won the Greek war, and the two communities eventually merged. A bust of Demetrios Ypsilantis stands between a Greek and a US flag at the base of the landmark Ypsilanti Water Tower.
