Our History
“Tanglefoot” is the story of two cities connected by their history. In the rolling hills of New Detroit, later to become Crystal City, was discovered one of the purist deposits of silica sand in the world. It was the availability of the silica sand that attracted the American Glass Company to locate here in 1871. In 1876, the American Glass Company was purchased by the Crystal Plate Glass Company and the town was eventually renamed Crystal City.
