Antoine Cadillac (1658? -1730) was born in Gascony,
France and grew up in Les Languedoc. He also went to Nova Scotia and Maine.
He was an army officer in France. He was a captain/administrator in a French
army in Canada. Also he was a French colonist and became the governor of French
Louisiana.
He was the founder of Detroit, Michigan and he was in command of Mackinac
(Michigan) which was a fur trading post in the west. He obtained a grant for the
Detroit area and took a large amount of colonists there.
Shortly after he became governor, people did not like the way he governed, so
soon after, in 1716, he returned to France and retired.
