The seventh largest city in the state, Ann Arbor is the seat of Washtenaw County, Michigan. The city was founded in 1824 by John Allen and Elisha Rumsey, land speculators, and registered as "Annarbour", reportedly for the wives of its founders, both of whom were named Ann. Ann Arbor is the home of the University of Michigan, which moved from Detroit to Ann Arbor in 1837.
