Hamtramck (/hæmˈtræmᵻk/ ham-TRAM-ik) is a city in Wayne County of the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 22,423. Hamtramck is surrounded by the city of Detroit except for a small portion of the western border that touches the similarly surrounded city of Highland Park.
Known in the 20th century as a vibrant center of Polish American life and culture, Hamtramck has continued to attract immigrants and in 2015 became the first majority Muslim city council in the United States.
Hamtramck is named for the French-Canadian soldier Jean François Hamtramck who was the first American commander of Fort Shelby, the fortification at Detroit. It was originally known as Hamtramck Township.
Hamtramck was originally settled by German farmers, but Polish immigrants flooded into the area when the Dodge Brothers plant opened in 1914.Poles used to make up a large proportion of the population. It is sometimes confused with Poletown, a traditional Polish neighborhood, which used to lie mostly in the city of Detroit and includes a small part of Hamtramck. As of the 2010 American Community Survey, 14.5% of Hamtramck's population is of Polish origin; in 1970, it was 90% Polish.

The city of Hamtramck in Michigan is undergoing a demographic change like no other in the US. Thirty years ago it was nearly 100 percent Polish-American. Since then, it's tried hard to attract immigrants from all over the world, including many Muslims. The city, near Detroit, recently became the first in America with a majority Muslim city council. While many candidates in the US presidential campaign have tried to stoke fears of Muslim immigrants, Hamtramck is proving them wrong.

More about the topic below: The adhan, or Muslim call to prayer, is sung and broadcast from mosques in Islamic nations around the world up to five times a day summoning Muslims for mandatory prayer.
