'''DeTour Village''' ({{IPAc-en|d|i|.|t|u|ə|ɹ}} {{respell|DEE|tu|ər}}) is a village in [[Chippewa County, Michigan|Chippewa County]] in the U.S. state of [[Michigan]].  The population was 263 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]].

The village is at the extreme eastern tip of the [[Upper Peninsula of Michigan]], in [[Detour Township, Michigan|Detour Township]], at the turning point for the shipping channel connecting the [[St. Marys River (Michigan-Ontario)|St. Mary's River]] with [[Lake Huron]] and the [[Straits of Mackinac]]. [[Drummond Island]], one of the largest islands in the St. Mary's River, is only one mile across the river from DeTour.  The [[DeTour Reef Light]] is nearby.

==History==
The place was originally an Ojibwe settlement.  It was connected with the fur trade and over time it came to have a large Metis population.  Over time the Metis inhabitants were redefined as being French-Canadian.

The area was organized in 1850 as Warren Township, named after Ebenezer Warren, the first postmaster of the township. The settlement was called Warrenville on an 1848 map. The name was changed to Detour in 1856 when a new postmaster, Henry A. Williams, assumed office. It incorporated as a village in 1899.  The spelling was changed to "DeTour" in 1953 and the post office was renamed "DeTour Village" in 1961.<ref name="Romig">{{cite book | last = Romig | first = Walter  | year = 1986 | title = Michigan Place Names | orig-year= 1973 | publisher = Wayne State University Press | location = Detroit, Michigan | isbn = 0-8143-1838-X}}</ref>

[[M-134 (Michigan highway)|M-134]] runs through the  village, connecting with [[Interstate 75 in Michigan|I-75]] {{convert|43|mi|km}} to the west and with [[M-129 (Michigan highway)|M-129]] {{convert|25|mi|km}} to the west, which runs north {{convert|37|mi|km}} to [[Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan|Sault Ste. Marie]].  M-134 also continues east to [[Drummond Island]] via the ''Drummond Island Ferry''.
