Pontiac Summary

Pontiac, Michigan is a city located in Oakland County, Michigan, United States. It is located about 30 miles northwest of Detroit and is part of the Detroit metropolitan area. The city has a population of 59,515 as of the 2010 census, making it the second largest city in Oakland County.

History

Pontiac was first settled in 1818 by a French-Canadian fur trader named Obadiah Brown.
