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.
