Ogemaw County, Michigan




 

Ogemaw County, Michigan

Ogemaw County, Michigan

Ogemaw County is located in the northeastern section of Michigan�s Lower Peninsula. This very hilly and scenic county features many small lakes and streams, including the Rifle River, a canoer�s dream-come-true.

The county is named after the Indian title "chief" which in Chippewa is pronounced: "Ogema." The land was originally platted in 1840. The county was organized in 1875, when the first settlers arrived near Ogemaw Springs and set up a lumber mill, about 5 miles from where today stands West Branch, the county seat and largest city in the county. Other prominent communities include Rose City and Prescott.

Today, Ogemaw County retains its country-like charm along with carefully planned growth. Its main economic support comes from tourism, auto-industry related production, plastics manufacturing and agriculture. Oil production can also be found in the southwest corner of the county.
