History of Detroit Lakes
Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, has a storied history rooted in resilience and growth. Originally home to the Dakota and Ojibwe tribes, the area began attracting European settlers in the 1860s thanks to its natural resources and fertile land.
The city’s name comes from the French phrase “Lac Detroit,” meaning “strait of the lake,” in honor of nearby Detroit Lake—a centerpiece for recreation and commerce.
The arrival of the Northern Pacific Railway in 1871 spurred economic development, making Detroit Lakes a hub for agriculture, trade, and tourism. Industries like logging and milling expanded in the early 20th century, while its location along key transportation routes cemented its role as a regional center.
Through economic changes and challenges, the community has consistently adapted, reflecting the determination of its residents.

Needed an additional unit and had the pleasure of having Mita help me out again! She is a genius in storage rental! Mita it was, once again, an absolute pleasure having you help me out!

1st experience, Mita was very knowledgeable and thorough with the process of renting our unit. Mita listened and responded professionally and was able to give us answers we were satisfied with. It was our pleasure to have had the opportunity to work with her. We did have some questions for her that Mita said they would get back to us. We have since rented another unit and still have not heard anything back from our original questions. There was a special promo going on then and to this day no one has contacted us with any kind of answer. Our current rental did get the promo we were promised with our previous rental so we’ll see what happens from here. Condition of the road in the rental yard is terrible – voiced our concern there so we’ll see if anything gets done once it dries up –

We went to storage facility and the gates were left open, there was a wire lock on storage door. Also thought there would have been electricity to the unit and it be more climate controlled like it said on the website and with the women I had talked to before purchasing unit. And the pothole in the driveways make for a really rough ride through the facility.

Samm was patient and knew the steps I needed to execute. I was on the phone with two calls because I needed to gather my insurance info. I requested Samm on the second call and was quickly connected. I had tried to do it myself online and failed three times. Samm provided good feedback also. Once I called, I was able to get successfully enrolled. Coming off a support role, I really appreciate this experience. Thanks Samm!
