Cadillac is a city in the state of Michigan. The community has a population of approximately 10,000 within city limits, and over 40,000 within the surrounding two counties. It was established as an industrial town known as the Village of Clam Lake. The village was incorporated into a city in 1877.

The area became a popular tourist destination following World War II, and remains so today.
