Detroit is a census-designated place (CDP) in Dickinson County, Kansas, United States.

However, Abilene became the county seat and Detroit ceased to grow from that point forward.

[6] Detroit is located halfway between Abilene and Chapman, 2 miles (3 km) north of Enterprise.

At one time Detroit maintained an active store and grocery, a train depot, a nightclub, a school and a church.

Although it has changed ownership and its official business name, locals have simply referred to it as "The Midway" or "The Beer Joint".
