Inkster is a city in Wayne County, Michigan, United States. At the 2010 census, the city population was 25,369.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Race, Hispanic or Latino, Age, and Housing Occupancy: 2010 Census Redistricting Data (Public Law 94-171) Summary File (QT-PL), Inkster city, Michigan )〕 It is one of the few Metro Detroit suburbs whose population is majority African American. == History == The area was originally inhabited by Native Americans, but was settled by non-indigenous people in 1825. A post office named "Moulin Rouge" was established there in December 1857. Robert Inkster, a Scotsman born March 27, 1828, in Lerwick, Shetland, operated a steam sawmill on present-day Inkster Road near Michigan Avenue in the early 1860s. The post office was renamed Inkster in July 1863. The village had a station on the Michigan Central Railroad by 1878. It incorporated as a village in 1926 from parts of Nankin Township and Dearborn Township. After much legal wrangling by the city of Dearborn, Dearborn Township, and the village of Inkster to sort out final borders for these communities, Inkster was incorporated as a city in 1964.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dearbornarealiving.com/history.shtml )〕 In the 1920s and 1930s, African-Americans working in Henry Ford's factories settled in Inkster because they didn't want to commute from Detroit and they weren't allowed to live in Dearborn.〔Binelli, p. (25 ). "The blacks working at the Rouge didn't necessarily want to commute all the way from Detroit but they weren't welcome in Dearborn, so they began settling in the regrettably named suburb of Inkster (which in fact commemorates an early Scottish settler, Robert Inkster)."〕 As a result of the police beating of Floyd Dent in January, 2015, which was caught on a police vehicle's dash cam and released to the public, the victim was awarded $1.4 million. A special assessment of Inkster residents will pay for the settlement, on their July 1, 2015 property tax bill.〔myFOXDetroit.com staff () "Floyd Dent settlement to be paid by Inkster residents"〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inkster, Michigan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
