Pontiac is the county seat of Oakland County, an old industrial city on the Clinton River about 30 miles northwest of Detroit that grew up as a General Motors company town and gave its name to the Pontiac automobile brand. Named for the 18th-century Odawa war chief, it swung from muscle-car boomtown to post-industrial hard times, and is now rebuilding around venues like The Crofoot, the M1 Concourse, and an Amazon plant on the old Silverdome grounds. In 1825 Elizabeth Denison, a free Black woman, bought 48.5 acres in the area, believed to be the first Black woman to purchase land in the Michigan Territory
