Ken,
"Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a 
French-Canadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was 
established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas 
Woodruff. It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village 
Woodruff's Grove. A separate community a short distance away on the west side 
of the river was established in 1825 under the name "Ypsilanti", after 
Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek war for independence. Woodruff's Grove 
changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities eventually 
merged."
from Wikipedia.

when you found a community you generally get the privilege of  naming it. If 
you name it for someone, it probably means you think something he/she did was 
good.
