From its early beginnings in 1750 as the head village of the Wyandot (or Huron) Native Americans to the present, Gibraltar has been influenced by its location along the banks of the Detroit River. For this wetland area, water is and always has been a part of life. With many canals, the city is known as the “Venice of Michigan.” Early shipbuilding and lumber mills, rum-running, summer cottages, marinas, and a steel mill have all found their way to Gibraltar’s shores. Hunting, fishing, and trapping along the water have served as mainstays. Gibraltar was incorporated as a village in 1954 and as a city in 1961, making it the second smallest city in Michigan at that time. Hy Dahlka was the first village president and a pioneer in wildlife conservation, founding the Michigan United Conservation Club (MUCC), the Waterfowl Festival at the Pointe Mouillee State Game Area, and the Monroe Rod and Gun Club.

"This was a good book for anyone interested in the history of Gibraltar, Michigan. I did find it quite heavy on the more modern era, and somewhat lacking in the earlier time periods, though."

• This was a good book for anyone interested in the history of Gibraltar, Michigan. I did find it quite heavy on the more modern era, and somewhat lacking in the earlier time periods, though.
• I was born and raised in Gibraltar, and this book brought back a lot of memories of the 1940s and 1950s.
• Was born and raised here --1946 through 1968. Married and moved away but family still in area. Loved the history before my time and brought back memories from my time there and 1968 and beyond. Would recommend to anyone interested int Gibraltar.
• well writen
• We are newcomers to Gibraltar -- two years ago we built a house on Horse Island, looking out over Lake Erie two years. We love this small city -- its friendly people and its beauty. This book, chock full of wonderful pictures -- is also helping us understand the area's rich history. Thanks, Dot, it's a great book.
• This is such a wonderful book. If you love Gibraltar and want to know more about this wonderful city, this is the book for you! Great job, Dorothy!
