Modern Journeys - The Irish In Detroit

FACTS: THE IRISH IN DETROIT
Assimilation: Scorned in the 19th Century by native-born Americans as a bad influence on the country, the Irish are thoroughly melted into the population: According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 500,000 metro Detroiter's claim some Irish ancestry.

Arrival: In the 1840s.
Neighborhoods: Downtown; around Mt. Elliott-E. Jefferson and most notably on the near west side, in what became Corktown.
Peak: By 1850, the Irish were the region's biggest ethnic group, about a third of the foreign-born population. The Germans soon surpassed them.
Stats: In 1850, 1 in 7 Detroiters had been born in Ireland. By 1880, that figure was 1 in 20. In 1910, it was 1 in 80.
Clout: Detroit's Irish became influential in law, law enforcement, politics and the Catholic Church. But they never dominated Detroit the way the Irish dominated Boston, Chicago, New York and San Francisco in either population or power.
Sources: The Detroit Almanac, "The Irish on the Urban Frontier," by Jo Ellen Vinyard More...
