[edit] History
The Diocese of Detroit was formed in 1833. At this time it covered Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas to the Missouri River.
In 1843 all area that had been in the Detroit Diocese not in Michigan was transferred to the Diocese of Milwaukee.
By the end of 1853 it consisted of the Thumb Area of Michigan, and most of Michigan south of the line running from Saginaw to Grand Rapids and west to Lake Michigan[1]. This had been caused by the organization of the Vicarate Apostolic of Upper Michigan.
