Muskegon County is a county located on the western coast of Michigan, United States. It was established in 1859 and has a rich history that dates back thousands of years. The county is named after the Muskegon River, which runs through it, and the word "Muskegon" comes from the Native American Ojibwa language, meaning "marshy river" or "swamp."
Before European settlement, Muskegon County was occupied by the Ottawa and Ojibwa tribes. The region was first explored by the French fur traders in the late 17th century. Permanent European settlement began in the early 19th century, with Charles Belanger being the recorded first resident of the area in 1834. Muskegon County was primarily a hub for fur trading, logging, and agriculture during these times.
The county experienced a significant growth spurt in the mid-19th century, predominantly driven by a booming lumber industry. Muskegon soon became known as the "Lumber Queen of the World" due to its extensive logging, milling, and shipping operations. The industry provided a strong economic foundation for the region and attracted numerous workers and businesses.
With the decline of the lumber industry in the late 19th century, Muskegon County transitioned into a center for manufacturing and commerce. Industries such as foundries, machine shops, and automotive production soon emerged in the area. Throughout the 20th century, the county maintained a diversified economy based on manufacturing, tourism, and services.
Fun fact: One of Muskegon County's best-known attractions is Michigan's Adventure, the largest amusement park and water park in the state. The park entertains thousands of visitors each year with its thrilling roller coasters, water rides, and other attractions.
