Oceana County, Michigan
.Oceana County is located in the western part of the lower peninsula of the state of Michigan. It was officially established in 1855, although European settlers began to explore the area in the early 1800s. Originally inhabited by Native American tribes, notably the Ottawa and Potawatomi, the region attracted the first European fur traders and missionaries in the 17th century.
The name "Oceana" was suggested by an early settler, J.S. Wing, as he saw the vast crystal-clear Lake Michigan from the sand dunes and thought of the ocean. The county's population started to grow in the mid-19th century due to the thriving lumber industry. As forests were logged, agricultural opportunities opened up, with many settlers cultivating fruit crops, particularly apples, and vegetables, which continue to be important industries for the region to this day.
The county seat, Hart, was established in 1856, and several other towns and villages, like Shelby, New Era, and Pentwater, make up the picturesque landscape that characterizes Oceana County. The county is endowed with natural beauty and a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities like fishing, hunting, swimming, and hiking.
A fun fact about Oceana County is that it is known as "The Asparagus Capital of the World." The region's sandy soil and lake-moderated climate create favorable conditions for growing high-quality asparagus, making it one of the major asparagus producers in the United States. Each year, the town of Shelby hosts the National Asparagus Festival in June to celebrate the importance of the asparagus industry to local farmers and the community as a whole.
