Detroit is a proper noun. Proper nouns are names for specific people, places, events, and things, such as George Washington, Mercury, December, and the Britt Festival, and are capitalized. Common nouns are nouns that refer to types of people, places, and things, such as farmer, barn, planet, and radio, and are not capitalized except at the beginning of a sentence. Detroit is a proper noun because it is the name of a city.
