In 1832, at the end of the Black Hawk War,
the Detroit City Guards were disbanded. A number of young men, including
some former members of the Detroit City Guard, formed a new independent,
volunteer company in Detroit on April 2, 1836. The organization was soon
renamed the Brady Guards after Brigadier General Hugh Brady. In 1855,
the Brady Guards became the Detroit Light Guard. This unit has had a
continuous existence to the present-day and is now Company A, 1st
Battalion, 125th Infantry.
