战溪(Battle Creek)是位于密歇根中西部的一个城市。截至2020年,该市人口为52,721。这座城市以其著名的早餐谷物行业而闻名。
了解
这座城市在20世纪大部分时间里都享受着繁荣。然而,与许多中西部小城市一样,它经历了制造业就业机会的下降和工资的停滞。这种影响对家乐氏谷物公司尤其严重,这家曾经支撑着现已关闭的谷物城(Cereal City)景点的中坚力量。
此外,该市毗邻一个重要的国民警卫队基地。昔日的卡斯特堡(Fort Custer)陆军基地的一部分现已改建成州立公园。此外,在20世纪80年代和90年代,该市吞并了附近几个地区,形成了如今的规模,占地43 平方英里(110 平方公里2),其中大部分地区人口稀少。
