Flint has been associated with transportation since its beginnings. In the early days it was the site of an important river crossing on the Pontiac Trail, then with the logging boom came the need for katydids (log hauling vehicles) which were manufactured in Flint. It is now one of the world's largest manufacturers of cars and from its early carriage business became General Motors.
