Living in Inkster, MI
The area where Inkster is today was first settled by Europeans in 1825 and given the name of Moulin Rouge in 1857. The city was renamed Inkster in the early 1860s after Robert Inkster, who was a native of the Shetland Islands and managed a sawmill at the time. According to the city of Inkster website, the name Inkster is thought to have originated from a Norse name, "Ingasetter," which is a combination of a person's name and terms that mean "summer pasture."
Inkster was originally incorporated as a village in 1926, but was reincorporated in 1964 as a city. The city website revealed that Inkster is known primarily as a residential community, with some light industrial and commercial development.
