	Detroit River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Historical events concerning the Detroit River began with the arrival of the French voyageurs, the first non-natives to navigate the river and land on Detroit's shores.
		During the Civil War, the river was patrolled in case of a Confederate attack from the Canadian north.
		The river flows past the American towns of Detroit, River Rouge, Ecorse, Wyandotte, Grosse Ile, Riverview, Trenton, and Gibraltar and the Canadian towns of Windsor, LaSalle and Amherstburg.

	Downriver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge and the Downriver Linked Greenways Initiative are two environmental preservation and recreation projects ongoing in the region.
		Northern Downriver communities near Detroit and Dearborn, Michigan (such as Allen Park, Lincoln Park, Wyandotte, River Rouge, Melvindale and Ecorse) were developed in the 1920s-1940s and are identified by brick and mortar homes (often bungalows), tree-lined streets and Works Progress Administration-designed municipal buildings.
		Some Downriver communities were once known for their large number of people of Southern origin who had migrated to Michigan to work in the automotive industry during the early to mid-20th Century; indeed, traces of the Southern accent are preserved by some residents, although this influence is fading.

		Our rivers -- our efforts to clean and enhance them for everyone to use, and to connect communities through greenways, trails and nature habitats -- represent one of our last best chances to make this a great place to live and work and play.

		I am sure the residents of Ecorse are very thankful and very proud of their accomplishments.

		Origin of name: Ecorse is the oldest of the Downriver communities.
		The village, which later became Ecorse, was first called "Grand Port." It was established on a Wyandot Indian site and burial ground at the close of the War of 1812.
		The eventual name, Ecorse, came from its location at the mouth of a little stream known to the French as "Riviere Aux Echorches," (Bark River) because of the amount of birch barks along the banks where Indians made their canoes and wigwams.
