Motown got its name from a combination of "Motor Town," a nickname for Detroit, Michigan, where the label was founded in 1959 by Berry Gordy Jr. The name reflects Detroit's identity as a hub for the automobile industry. Gordy aimed to create a distinct brand that represented the city's vibrant music scene, and "Motown" became synonymous with the unique sound and cultural impact of the label's artists.
