There are a number of mid western cities that have French names. Some of these include Saint Louis, Decatur, as well as Detroit. They have these French names because they were originally established as French trading posts in the former French colony of Louisiana. After the Seven Years War (known in North America as the French and Indian War), France lost the territory of Louisiana, but the cities retained their original names.
