The municipality of Detroit had a 2017 estimated population of 673,104,  making it the 23rd-most populous city in the United States. The metropolitan area, known as Metro Detroit, is home to 4.3 million  people, making it the second-largest in the Midwest after Chicago. Early settlement: - The first Europeans did not penetrate into the region and reach the straits of Detroit until French missionaries and traders worked their way around the League of the Iroquois, with who they were at war and other Iroquoian tribes in the 1630s. Later settlement:- The region's economy was based on the lucrative fur trade, in which numerous Native American people had important roles. The flag of Detroit reflects its French colonial heritage.
